I like the Hertal as well. It looks more substantial with the body .
Once again we are idea rich and time poor.

Yep new saying " Were are you going this weekend to stair at your phone "[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Hello to all interested in this mater![/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]I was thinking about seat position for longer time, but years ago I was thinking about spidery body, fast acceleration and good cornering, over twisting mountain roads![/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Now, I need two seats, the best if side-by-side (tandems are cute, but not so practical for older couples), with comfortable seating and easy step-in and step-out!
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]After some sketches and testing on furniture (!), I concluded that I would be glad to have seats high as kitchen chairs, but measured from ground: no need for side-boards, conformable seating during drives, good passive and active visibility – dignified position for two pensioners, too! No climbing up, no seating down in-to a body, no claustrophobic feeling as in some CycleKart and some velomobile![/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Pedaling, if I keep that solution - should complicated things a little, but is solvable on the same principles. More about that, some other time...[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Shown veterans were mostly experimental vehicles, based on light karts or heavier carriages, with slow speeds and gentle cornering, with almost non-existent braking, and slow acceleration! Therefore – high seating position was normal and desired! (less: dust and drops of mud, smell of dirty streets and roads)

Young people are hanging at clubs (active types), or are occupied with their super-modern i-mobile-phones, texting all day (passive types)...[/FONT]
Well Steve it's just that sometimes my body disagrees with me over how young I feelGood Heavens it sounds like I'm dealing with a bunch of old people the way everyone's worrying about seat height and getting in and out of a vehicle.
