If it is left, then that is the cause...
if it is center, check the brakes (trikes usually have a left brake and a right.... the left might be too tight)

It could be the road to our road slopes to the left and to the right depending on what side of the road you are on. I'll try out that theroy when I can be in the middle of the road and not worry about cars or being ran down lol. * bike trails ect*

It also seems to be very sensitive and responsive, you even barely tilt left it will go left.


There's a lot of discovery to go on with the bike:)
