Velomobile Foresight Begins
This is just a first draft and needs to be scaled a little better. The rear triangulated part will serve as part of the frame and shock support. It might be hollow to allow for rear wheel travel. This will allow for open additional storage and a place to place lights at the rear most part of the velomobile. Just giving an update on the progress. I have a feeling this will take several drafts before getting everything figured out. I am still learning how to use sketchup. I also need to confirm measurements to make sure I allow for the proper tolerances. Remember the old saying, measure twice, cut once.

Looks like a good start, but I'd think you'll want a much taller/deeper wheel arch in the front. Unless you're looking at running tiny wheels, or having the base frame sitting rather far off the ground.
ReplyDeletePerhaps another thing is to look at how Velomobiel does the Quest/Mango. They've got the overall monocoque, and then have a separate subframe that gets fitted in for the front end; encompassing the wheel arches, cross beam, and mounting points for the front frame tube.
