Rotation Patterns
1.Rotation of tyre on motor’s front wheel
2.Rotation of tyre on motor’s rear wheel
3.Rotation directing tyre
Rotation of tyres on motor’s front wheel: Movement of tyres from front to rear on the same side and moving tyres from rear to front and then the sides are switched.
Rotation of tyres on motor’s rear-wheel: Movement of tyres from front to rear and then sides are switched, and moving tyres from rear to the front on the same side.
