Default Re: Single Seat SolidWorks Design Review

I’m designing one similar….slowly!

I am at the rear suspension.

Big picture concept wise…Why A-arms vs Trailing arms.
I love Yoshi’s designs. Maybe it’s the shiny finished product, which appeals.

I find I can get the travel I want with the trailing arms and stay out of the engine space.

I intend to step up the lateral tube (not unlike a VW). No torsion bar though.

Currently my arms are just over 25inch in length.
Need to do stress study for tube size and all.

I am looking for specs for allowable motion with axle (stretch, angles of swing, etc…)
