  • Great job mate. I have been searching for somethng like this on You tube for the last 5 years.

    

  • how can i build myself one

  • Quadracycle people - pedal and engine powered need to get together! Lots of poeple out there with good ideas out there, but are scattered - no 'power in numbers'

  • Best damn commuter ride ever!

  • very nice design i love this bike or quad i should say

  • @animasquadracycle Wow, thats one crazy range... lemme see if I can guess: The typical 21 speed MTB has a low gear inch of about 22" , that puts yours at 13.2" w/ that 40% less figure, but then w/ your smaller tires (85% of a 26" tire) you get a gear inch of 11.2", Does that sound familiar? Thats just about half of a typical MTB granny. Is that low enough that you can get the rear wheels to skid on the steepest hills?

  • @joshpit2003 I mean, that is the range of gearing built in. From a granny gear(40% lower than the lowest cogs of the 21 spds) to a 32 mph overdrive (150% of the tallest cog set) driving a 16 inch motorcycle wheel (85% the dia of a 26 in mtn bike tire). I havent measured the "gear-inch" for years because we go from absurdly low to higher than a mtn bike (hard to take advantage of on pedal only unless it's a downhill)

  • @animasquadracycle 32 mph at 100 rpm doesnt sond low for a granny gear... maybe I'm missing something?

  • @joshpit2003 Yes, about 15 mph, gearing is super low (granny) to road (32 mph) at 100 rpm cadence; 63 speed-3 X 21

  • Wow. Awesome job Greg, this thing looks like a blast to ride. It reminds me of the "moon buggy" contests that you mentioned in your inspiration section of your website. I'd love to see a design like this in that competition! I have a few questions for you: Whats the top speed of the vehicle without electric assist? (maybe that was the 15mph in the video?)

    and: Whats the wheel "gear inch" in its lowest gear? highest gear?
