An anon on /o/ redirected me here. Let's talk about them.
velomobile.Buty why make it have a distinctive automotive appearance ? >>>/o/
>>2001283Oh let him stay, this is fun
No way this is fun... with 4 wheels and no motor you can go fast only downhill, but at that point a soapbox kart design is better. And for cycling designs 3 wheels are better
Reminds me of The Little Rascals
>>2001286>no motorCyclekarts do have 200cc engine. And the rule is that it has to be a scaled down version of real pre ww2 cars or at least mimic one.It's a gokart with "classic" body.
They're called recumbents and they are favored by weird old men
>>2001290>>>/o/
>>2001286Would having a motor make it too fast for this board?
>>2001290Oh shit well, back to /o/ with this oneCyclecart is a dumb name for something with an engineAnd op is dumb for not introducing the topic
>>2001312we can still talk about pedal cars.Although velomobiles are more efficient. But for fun, why not.pic related
>>2001305No, it would make it too expensive for this board
>>2001305Walking speed is too fast for some people here
>>2001312They're essentially a class smaller than cycle*cars*, which were driven by motorcycle engines, and were pretty popular around the turn of the century because automobile engines were so expensive.Here, they're meant to be hand built and using a small generator or power tool engine
>>2001502uncage your feet and slow your stroll, carbrain. Walking is NOT a race
>>2001508noget gud
>>2001508>Implying that anyone here actually leaves their neetcave. Or isn't an astroturf bot>>2001520Based. I regularly mog retards on the trail
>>2001508Faster walking is fun, and why else are my legs so long, if not to mog fatties/manlets
>>2001529love me long legsthere is nothing better than powerwalking through a group of people like you're on a fucking mission and you're just like having a casual stroll but you look like a fucking tyrannosaurus rex to all the manlets
I always wonder what 4 professional cyclists could achieve on a double surrey
>>2001545kek. I know they was a video with 1v1 on one of those things in the dirt.
I gotta wonder for these, how reasonable of an idea would it be to get a few of those "pedal assist" kits and just have a motor on all four wheels, linked to a throttle pedal?
>>2001283>Buty why make it have a distinctive automotive appearance ?cause cars are cool, efficient and manly
>>2001283Four wheels good, two wheels baaaad
>>2001708Just a wild guess but I'd say no more than 1k? I bet someone over on >>>/diy/ can come up with a schematic
