| Description: | Why does Rungu have two wheels in front? The two front wheels make it easy for Rungu to master the soft sand, mud, ice, and snow. Two wheels in the front effectively eliminate the digger problem with hunting (and all other) single-front-wheel e-bikes. The dual-front-wheel design provides control on slick or soft surfaces. Rungu uses a form of Ackerman Steering so that the center of the turning circle for all three wheels is the same. When you turn a Rungu, you always have one tire on the inside of the turning circle. You use the whole surface of that tire for traction in the turn. It “digs in” instead of “washing out.” When you turn a two-wheeler, all the turning force on the front tire is directed through a narrow strip of tread on the front tire that follows the turning circle. That narrow strip of tread on the inside of the turning circle needs a surface it can grip, or it skids. If you don’t straighten out the front wheel in an instant, the skid can result in a “low-side” or “washout,” or worse, a “high-side” or “over the handlebars” crash. |
