Being a Rambler owner, I hear ya... it's just the nature of the beast, given the relatively high seat position. And yes, with a 26 (or 650) wheel in back, it raises it higher. And yes, if you turn while on an incline (like a driveway entrance or somesuch), you're magnifying the problem... From Day One, I told Terrie to slow way the heck down in turns, and to lean to the inside... actually, leaning slightly FORWARD and to the inside helps make it easier to lean to the inside. And she hasn't tipped it yet. You might even consider playing with it in slow turns to get more familiar with what it takes to lift a wheel... I'm not aware of any other seat that can be put on the trike for a lower center of gravity -- I wish there was one, because I think the pedal position is too low relative to the seat -- the front edge of the seat sling hits the backs of one's thighs a lot more than I like. I've probably said it in my Ramblin' Thread, but I consider the Rover and Rambler to basically be sub-15mph machines... I take it up higher, but that's me... You're simply going to have to get in the habit of slowing down in turns, and leaning to the inside. Plain and simple. Paul
