      Thank you, Jules! I am loving it! It now has new graphics on the side that I think look awesome. Going to get another video up soon, showing the mods I've already made. How are the new tires working out for you?

      They really are incredible machines. There are quite a few different models, my QV is just one!

    Wow that is one awesome quad bike! I don't ride, but my lady is quite a rider, and based on her experience it looks like on the road flat tire repair could be an involved process. We live in a hot climate here in inland Nor Cal, and unless those two footwell holes flow more air than they look like they could it seems like it would get very hot in there. Anyway, super awesome machine, hope you get lots of fun miles in it!

      Thanks for taking a look. Flat repair is actually easier than it looks. Air flow is decent, but it still gets hot.

    aerodynamics is a wonderful thing, I wonder if this could be categorized as an eccentric bike , which are big in Belgium , which of course is next to the only flat country where this bike would thrive, or be imagined, the Netherlands. The thing is a more than too specialized for me, but I like it, without the planned look at me graphics. Nobody cares, keep the clean visual lines.

    Looks like it would be a blast to ride on something like a park trail, but highly butthole-puckering on a public road.

    • @Bigboy4018
      @Bigboy4018  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Actually, riding on the roads has not been much of an issue. The other drivers have been giving me more than enough room. The mirrors are very effective and coupled with the GUARDIA 300 rear facing radar, I always know what's behind me. I do look forward to hitting some of the RAIL-TO-TRAILS once I get my trailer modified for the length of the QV.

    Awesome introduction. Such a cool Velo. I’ve been looking at Velos for a couple of years. Trying to learn more about them.
    So first question. I always see those two big holes in the floor of Velos. Is that for air flow? Do they make covers for the winter or do your heals need that added space.
    You mentioned the radar. What is that? Like a rear sensor?

    • @Bigboy4018
      @Bigboy4018  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes, those holes are foot wells. Backing up is "Fred Flintstone" style, but they do provide airflow. The Quattro Velo does have an access hatch cover that closes those holes for winter driving.
      The radar I mentioned is a Bryton Gardia 300 that detects cars at about 150 meters and sends an alert to my GPS unit. It also has a flashing taillight. When a car gets to a certain range, it changes the flash pattern, and it can detect when I decelerate and turns the light solid. It's a nice unit.

    It needs a motor.🇺🇸😎

      @Bigboy4018  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I'm the only motor it needs!

  • @catsbyondrepair
    @catsbyondrepair 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You could add a predator 212 motor in that

    • @Bigboy4018
      @Bigboy4018  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, you could, but I don't see a need for a motor. It pedals really well.
