Rear Forward Design

A Rear Forward Design Concept is a simple, "straight forward" (play on words) design method. I used to use this method when I was a kid in Ohio building bicycles, mini-bikes, pinewood derby's, and go-karts. It's stuck with me 'cause it never has failed me. The essence of the concept is, "Begin at the first point where the vehicle tractively interfaces with the earth, on it's drive axis".
