Nigeria's First Three-wheeler (pics) by mindboggler(op): 1:02pm On Dec 02, 2014
Was on my way from work when i saw this sight. I just had to step on my brakes, which caused a little hold-up behind me, to take a picture of this three-wheeler, lol.

If I were the guy behind him in traffic, i would have intentionally hit his rear left side....just to see what happens.

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

If i was told, I would deny it. But seeing the pictures, makes me doubt how possible it is, and the passat not falling on its own weight. A short video would have been better, to actually see it move and confirm or disprove certain theories.
Also the car is in traffic, so what happens when the vehicle is not moving, it should tip on its weight !!!!

Nigerians can manage even when it seems impossible..
Re: Nigeria's First Three-wheeler (pics) by colossus2: 3:23pm On Dec 02, 2014
The tyre pro'ly pulled out while on motion.

Or maybe load was stacked in one side of the car.









But I'm still amazed sha shocked
Re: Nigeria's First Three-wheeler (pics) by adanny01(m): 4:38pm On Dec 02, 2014
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.
