- Walkaround video of my faired recumbent 'Woodstock' which I race with the British Human Power Club on closed cycle circuits in the UK.
18.5kgs, 406 wheels, 28mm tyres, FWD, 11 speed 105, disc brake
Russell, you're an inspiration for us all. What an amazing streamliner!
From my perspective, it is a work of art; hope it serves you well as you charge ahead!
Beautiful job and wonderful video, thank you!
Very nice. Looks nice and slippery.
Super! Thank you for showing all the details, I'm building something similar
Beautiful bike !
Beautifully done! An idea, if you don't mind, concerning hydration. In my velomobile, I simply lay a Camelbak bladder on the floor of the velo next to the seat with the tube lying across my lap. Easy to use, and when I'm done drinking, I simply spit the tube out. Thank you so much for the video, yours is a fascinating machine. Best of luck in future BHPC races!
impressive! thanks for sharing.
Really nice work
1000 thanks for making and sharing this footage! In my opinion this is the best design ever of a fully faired recumbent bike, confirmed by the awesome racing performance of Slash and yourself. Such a pity, that there's no way to buy something like that. So I'm on the way to build my own. The bike itself already works pretty well (made of aluminium). I'm not able to handle with composite materials, but I fortunately found a used shell (bumble bike) from german racing activities in the 90s. For the landing gear I also want to copy your solution, but with bigger wheels and a slightly different activation mechanism. I wonder if it is possible to use this machine for every day commuting on flat good bicycle lanes. Do you have any experience or suggestions for this? Is this doomed to fail?
Lovely design and build, I hope you get teh results you're expecting just what you need to pop down the shops in a rush before they close.
I'm sure it took a lot of time, effort and expertise to fabricate that impressive faring. I wonder whether anyone building their own velomobiles/streamliners has considered using a stiff safety cage wrapped with transparent plastic sheets (stretchy, like cling film, but thicker to cope with the air flow) for all-round visibility, reduced weight and ease of replacement following mishaps?
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Good Luck for the World's in August.
For the hotter day(s) we get in the UK, perhaps a ventisit pad, tinted lexan, and a variable diverter for the screen to divert more air to rider?
That design is flipping fantastic! I have a copy of Goro Tamai’s book I can send if you want it. And I’ve got a Kingsbury’s elliptical drive too.
I own highracer recumbent and when i test one lower highracer recumbent i find out its getting harder to control bike with lower gravity center go. This faired lowracer have to be really hard to controll since every move you made in shell will throw bike out of ballance and only fast and right measured reactions can counter imballance before it big and bike drop on any side.
Hi Russel, I can not answer directly, I don't know why... Anyway on my channel you can find some videos about the building of my streamliner, I hope to hit the track on saturday. I may be at the championships in august to compete in your category.
Cool ! How much Watt you need for 40kmh 50kmh , 60kmh
You did a very nice job on it, in both design and execution. That was a ton of work to build. I mean that sincerely, and I want you to understand that before you read what I say next.
love it Russ. Is there no better way to get the Air to the rider? That hole looks draggy. I obv know nothing about this.
