  • i am considering making a fairing, but i want to make mine a little mroe aerodynamic, what do you think of fiberglass?

  • Dar,

    Fiber glass will be sturdier, hold it's shape better. However, it will be heavier.

    I used corroplast for prototyping because it was cheap and easy.

  • Mac, yes it made a huge difference in effort/speed. On flat ground I could maintain much higher speeds, and downhill the trike was literally scarry fast.

    My original purpose for the fairing was weather protection which it did very well.

  • I would not worry about making the fairing reach as far out width wise as the front tires, shaped more like a bullet. That would make it stiffer and more airodynamic I would guess,

  • I made the fairing as wide as I did because of the steering. The handle bars are just inside the fairing. If I had T-bar steering I could have made the fairing as narrow as my shoulders. This would be my preference, but I did not want to modify the trike.

  • The fairing is made of coroplast. It is a bit floppy, but holds together well enough.

  • Looks like a block of cheese, could work good for a cheese company who wants free advertizing
