Thinking for a while how the mechanic achieved that, i realised it is possible. These were the conditions i thought of;

1. Move as much weight as posible to the front
2. Lose as much weight as posible from the rear.
3. Increase as much as possible the rear ground clearance.

That means removing rear seats, most of the suspension parts of the affected wheel and spare tire/tools. Use a very high suspension coil spring for the other rear wheel as evident in the picture. The driver can add some weight on his foot well plus his weight should achieve that but without a passenger. Am sure it will be very unstable.

So the person driving such a car has time to do all this things...

Seems you too schools in France

GAZZUZZ:

I once saw a tractor on 3wheels too.

All the weight is concentrated in front (engine/transsmission) car is unstable but moving.

u took d words outa me,I once saw a tractor on 3wheels too,d man lost one of his front wheels,d entire assembly was empty just like d pics d op showed,till date I still do wonder how d driver managed to navigate d tractor with d steering controlin only one wheel.

After reading through all these comments i can only laugh at the responses

It is very possible and guys who are into border goods transport understand how to do it and it does not require all the stuffs you mentioned.

whre my physics teacher make him come explain this

Re: Nigeria's First Three-wheeler (pics) by iamok: 10:31pm On Dec 02, 2014

my deduction!!! the car is faulty and not on motion. how do I know.
1. While other cars' break light were on, No light at the rear.
2. If you look at it very well (second pix) there is a support (big wood used by mechanic)
3. Even if the weight is concentrated to the front, it cant stand (physics)
Jazz? grin

can't work in this case, go and try at Sambisa grin

I rest my case
