ALTAÏR1 le Vélo couché caréné de l'IUT d'Annecy

Les etudiants sport etudes de l'IUT d'Annecy ont conçu et fabriqué un premier prototype de vélo couché caréné (VPH)durant l'année universitaire 2007-2008. Le pilote d'essai Yannick Lutz à roulé à 118km/h sur le plat sur l'autoroute A41 (avant son inauguration).

2 more questions - How does your chain setup work? (1 or 2 chains) and how fast is the bike?

[AnnecyVPH]

There are 2 chains and 10 speeds

The maximum speed was 118km/h with ALTAÏR1, with the next prototype ALTAÏR we hope more...

possible future of transport:

enclosed 1-way cycle highways allowing collective draughting?

[mbiraside]

very cool,,,,good job guys,,,,,i want one

[inagod]

I love these streamlines,the future is now,lets see some enclosed motorcycles,both electric and small combustion.200mpg 150mile range for electric,very few out their,Lit motors,Monotracer,streamlined electric are but a few .

@AnnecyVPH Lol ... you'll never get nowhere near 118km/h on any kind of bike :)

[330MillionGods]

Was it tested for higher (than 10'th) gear ratios ? ex. 11th or 12th gear etc ?.. Do they work ? What is limit on gear ratios beyond which they stop contributing to max speed ?

[gronki1]

3:22 the driver must have been like "wtf? an egg on a higway doing 120?" lol

[markdevine1]

Awesome!!!

[sgthellfire75]

I want to know what average speed can be sustained in one of these bikes by an average recreational rider for 1 hour.

[FrekeOne]

amazing speed!

[idigcars]

That would be cool if it was shaped like an aerodynamic sperm

[fotosonic]

et dans la descente du Galibier ça donne quoi?
