  Larry, it will be interesting to see how your idea works out. In my experience, anything on the floor of the velo soon becomes completely soaked in sweat. I have drilled additional holes in the floor of my WAW to let the accumulated puddles of sweat drain out, but that still does not keep anything on the floor from being soaked.

  Hey Larry, you're welcome. A velomobile is a fun and nice hobby to have :). You know, this idea is actually a good one I think. Thanks for sharing. Especially in the back. In there I store a spare tire and inner tube, bicycle pump and a plastic bag with wrenches, Allan keys, trie wraps and a small pump to pump the air bellows. Most of the time all of that lays on top of a blanket on which a can tip over my velomobile when I need to repair a flat tire on the side of the road. But somehow, hitting speed bumps a bit too hard, sends the bag full of tools up into the air, rattling inside of the trunk :).I guess I am still young and naive enough to do so. A floor mat would help dampend it I guess for the places the blanket does not cover it hahahaha. That exact material you are using for it is also available in European stores. I seen it in the cheapest store there is too.

  I like the graphics. 👍 nice. Just be careful around horses they can be dangerous when you drive next to them. Dogs are in general ok with those things. Just a bit nervous. Curious if you really are going to use the fender well mount. I actually had a mount for my phone onto it for a while but it was a hassle to mount my phone in it. Now I have it in those compartments on the left or the right. I just put a towel in those places to protect it a little. I find that a gps can be mounted best on the middle of your steering wheel. Garmins come with a mount that you can attach with some kind of rubber bands they provide with it. Good to see you riding around. Looks like a nice place to drive 💪

  Thank you, Jules! I agree, the phone position is going to be less than optimal, but I want to use the screen for the radar display. at present, I have my GPS mounted to the center on the steering bar as you have suggested. I may also get a mount like the one I have for the radar that will mount the GPS to the inside of the coaming. We shall see how/if that works out; not very expensive so it will be worth experimenting. The horses never came too close, but they were curious. Dogs just don't know what to think! Today was my longest ride and I had so many people stop me to ask questions, most had never even heard of a velomobile before. Doing my part to spread the word!!

  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.

  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!

  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?

• 
  @Bigboy401826 күн бұрын

  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.

  I have 4 trains running, same tracks, 2 on upper and 2 on lower tracks, all in conventional mode. Balance speed of engines with number of cars behind each that it’s pulling. Double headed dual motor engines pull more cars. While engines with less motors pull fewer cars. I’ve had as many as 9 motors in engines on same track running together.😅 like your layout.

  My friend with an electrical background advised me the KW for a single loop has more power than ZW has for any one of it’s individual throttle lever power sections. I have both ZW & KW and they both handle 8 motors on one power section without breaker opening. Nine motors has opened the breaker on the ZW. I have not tried multiple engines with dual motors on different loops hooked to same transformer. My transformers are each only one loop each plus a section for turn out switches. My bet would be this is drawing a lot of amps with all post war engines.

  It works well having the camera there as opposed to helmet. I have a Ram motorcycle mount on the front of my trike, which I mount the camera to. Not sure if you meant to shoot in 9:16 as opposed to 16:9 which is standard tv screen aspect. That way you get landscape as opposed to portrait. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
