Well it is not actually hub centre steering, it has a 15mm through axle to two uprights, these are pivoted on the two friont swing arms which swing from side to side, as the left swing arm moves right it shortens the distance to the left side of the hub steering the wheel to the right

Great piece of engineering. Why the 100kg load?

Thanks for sharing it with us.

The 100kg was just a design goal, so I neede to know it would work, 75 kg feels better
