Article from the Star describes a conversion kit that turns any mountain bike into a snow capable mode of transportation.
Comments on an interesting style human powered track vehicle.
Some positive points that come to mind:
- Recumbent position for the rider and the seat looks good
- Simplicity of chain drive mechanisms taken directly from a bicycle
- Center of gravity looks to be positioned close to the front of the track - matches the requirement for easier turning of the track according to Greg.
Some negative points:
- Slider on track (201) seem too high friction for our intended use.
- Complexity of idler gears throughout the chain drive
- Don't much care for the look of such a small wheel at the rear of the track
Here is our first post introducing the project.
Stage 1: Collect ideas and examples from the internet.
Stage 2: Design and document our own plan
Stage 3: Begin the build
Stage 4: Testing and revisions
Stage 5: Demonstration!
