Long ago, on Rad-Forum.de someone had the idea to build a charging device which uses the energy from the hub dynamo to charge electronic gadgets.

I am a big fan of the Yehuda Moon comics. If you don’t know Yehuda, Joe, Frank, the Ninja Biker and all the others, visit yehudamoon.com and have a look at the archive. From now on the daily Yehuda Comic can also be found on BentBlog.de (just klick on the link at the top of [...] Recumbent bikes – and here especially velomobiles – often consist of special parts which are rather seldomly used in other bike types.

Among others, they are supported by Alligt and RaptoBike. Alligt honoured the 250th Alleweder A4 with a movie about the most frequently sold version of this velomobile – the “bouwpakket”, dutch for building kit. See the movie: Frequently, new bike models are thrown onto the market and usually a promise is connected to these new models: they are lighter, better foldable, more comfortable, or whatever.

A lot of people were waiting for quite some time to get news about the Mid Racer. Some weeks ago, Arnold Ligtvoet, the head of RaptoBike told me that he was doing final work on the bike and that it would become available soon after the relaunch of his website. In the past there had been quite some cooperations between the Technical University Delft and companies from the recumbent business.

Interesting for you: they are [...] Recently I read abuot the Pinion P1 gear-box for the first time. It is a new bike gear system which is located in the bottom bracket (region). In contrast to the Schlumpf drives or similar products, we are not talking about 2 or 3 gears but 18 of them. As I had reported earlier, Go-One manufacturer Beyss offered the moulds for the production of the Go-One 3. Now it seems as if two users from the German Velomobilforum decided to buy them. They informed the forum-community about the possible future of this popular velomobile. |
