Paul, thanks for your kind words. It was frightening indeed...
As my 3 wheeler is only one week old, it still makes all kind of noises. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering, but can of course not be sure if this or one of the many noises should have alarmed me.... None did.
Suddenly there was this loud noise, and within 2 seconds, before I could pull over and stop, the rear wheel already seized (as seems to be the correct wording in English).
In short, no warning signs. What is worse, I still do not know what I could have done differently. De-clutching would not help, sharp braking was out of the question because of heavy traffic, and I doubt the best driving school could have prepared me for a sized rear wheel. Any suggestions from the more knowledgeable members how to prepare others for such an event?
Paul, I am really looking forward to submit more positive posts, hopefully in the near future. I really adore this little vehicle....
