There is another option, though it would mean making the bike a forkless design. Have the wheels (front and back) and drive train all one unit that fits on her back like a flight pack when in robot mode.

^^^ That's not a bad option - the current design already incorporates the front wheel as 'turbines' for a flight-pack style back-pack - I guess i could figure out a way to include the rear wheel too - perhaps as a stabiliser fan...?

All i know for sure is, i've gotta get that back wheel in somehow, or she's gonna end up being the world's most high-tech uni-cycle...... :wink:

Actually, the idea would be to have the front wheel as one turbine fan and the rear wheel as the other.

^^^ Yeah, I see what you mean Tramp. At this stage though, the front wheel ought to be fine with the current plan (although, most of my plans so far have been doomed to failure, so your idea might see the light of day yet, heh).

I'll keep thinking on the rear assembly - this is a busy time of the year, so i probably wont have time to work on stuff till the new year - but you never know!
