For EngineerDog readers I wanted to share my favorite section of the instructable, a unique perspective on three wheel vehicle dynamics: My answer to the question, what are the advantages/disadvantages of having two wheels in the front instead of the back on a three wheeled vehicle?
To answer this, we need to first define the two different vehicle layouts and compare them for a few different vehicle performance characteristics:
Delta: One wheel in front, two in back.
Tadpole: Two wheels in front, one in back.

I don't typically see Delta or Tadpole used as terms usually, normally it's Trike or Reverse Trike.
However, I think this article is good in many ways.
If you are into the math, there are several other links and PDF's at the bottom of the blog.
