Editing Ferdischreiter (section)

== Steering and mechanical issues ==
The steering layout was one of the most recognizable parts of the Ferdischreiter. Its forward-and-back steering control sat in front of the driver and worked through a geared linkage. The system was simple, but it needed steady physical movement from the driver.

The main mechanical flaw was on the right side of the front steering assembly. One of the steering axles often struck the belt between the engine and the flywheel. This caused belt wear and made regular adjustment necessary. Later examples had small spacing and mounting changes, but the general layout stayed the same through production.
