Vehicle directional instability, heavy control, and brake judder.

directional instability. The rather excessive caster. used makes this control heavier than it should be, & one has the feeling that, when going round a corner, a spring is being wound up!

On one occasion a horrible judder came from the brakes as I was pulling up from about 2-3 m.p.h., but this did no occur again.

I'm very much afraid that I shall have to get one of these motors, but as you know, I cannot say the exact date.
