  • why is it making a 'chugga chugga' sound

  • The 'chugga' noise is one of those peculiarities of steel wheels running on metal rails. It will be caused by sort of vibration in the wheel itself

  • Great video! Especially rewarding for me as having built the frame I never saw it run. Incidentally when Ian gave me the drawing for this he asked me to build two. The other one is still a bare frame in the factory. I would love to see someone else get this much fun out it (and save my shins).

    You can check out other Greenspeeds in action in my videos.

  • I'm tempted to buy that one too if it doesn't find a home! We could have even more fun with two.

  • Stunning, I have often dreamed of adapting a recumbent to operated on the endless unused railways here in the Canadian prairies. Is this an actual Greenspeed produced set-up, or is it your adaptation of one of their road frames? Well done, either way.

  • Greenspeed made the X4 especially for us, but they have a stock of parts to build further machines if asked! With different axles, it could run on any gauge, and on a big line, it would be pretty fast...

  • I wasn't so impressed for a long time.

    I dont understand something, who made it, a train maker or a bike maker?

  • That's really great! I've already seen such record bikes on rails, but this one is just fun in the garden :-)
