Don't know if I'm going to make this a recurring feature of any sort, but anyway: Assuming you have a Goliath 3-wheel truck that a customer wants to be made unique, is it a better candidate for raising, lowering, or... something else? State your case and reasoning in reply.

Height? No, it should be Width, because it will be on its side.

I feel like raising or lowering it is playing with an already very fragile set of driving dynamics.

You could put a hilariously tiny grill gaurd on it, because off road.

But since you have no business driving this more than 5mph on a quaint European village street, wouldn't it make sense to have a giant front wheel to crush other fruit-sellers with? Alternately, the Bayerische Frauen really like a lowrider, and hydraulics are required for one fewer wheel than normal - having a wheel on a trapeze arm forward from the engine would even lend itself to jumping, all day.

Well, see, either raising or lowering it, you'd probably put on a wider front tire, and if you're modifying a Goliath, sanity has already left without a forwarding address, so why worry about how it drives >10mph?

I suppose that make some sense... on some level:)

You could always add some stability:

Or you could go with the classic drag setup. Caster on the front, and a solid rolling pin of rubber across the back.

Bonus points if the drive transmission is a roller which rolls the tire.
