Opening

Hello! This is my first post. I want to do an over cap of the velomobile project. I have done a lot of research on ideas for suspension and drivetrain. This is something that has gained interest as a way for me to travel to and from work.

The velomobile must be built mainly of readily available material, wood, fiberglass. Most drivetrain parts will consist of bicycle parts. I have a 500 watt electric assist motor to make the vehicle easier to operate. I want to incorporate working lights and blinkers for safety. It will have a bright color to stick in traffic. Did I mention, this need to be build able. I have a little wood and fiberglass experience, but no design or bike building experience.

Building material

• Wood- Main frame
• Fiberglass
• Aluminum or steel- for suspension parts

Features

• Pedal/ electric assist
• Lights/ blinkers
• Fully enclosed
• Full suspension
• Tadpole layout

I will post building ideas later. I have some drawings I will try to get scanned.
