Most commercially availible velomobiles feature Macpherson Strut independent front suspension. A popular choice for full monocoque designs.
Tadpole design three wheeelers require roll stiffness at the front because the single rear does not have anti-roll stiffness so suspensions have to be correspondingly stiff to reduce body roll.
I intend to have a very simple beam front suspension with the advantages being...

- Simplicity
- No track variance when bumps encountered (zero scrub)
- Can be made lightweight (for velomobile applications)
- Great roll stiffness
