Recumbent Trike Canopy Installation, 2018-03-14 HP Velotechnic Scorpion fs26 S Pedelec

[@benazeddine5255]

From Denmark: Thx for sharing. What I have always admired in USA, is the availability of all what you need for DIY projects. It is not the case in Denmark. I tour 5 months a year (Mid April to mid October) with my ICE Sprint FS Trike and a Mono wheel Ziflex with suspension attached to it. No EL assist so far. I find your project very interesting but have my doubts about the stability of the whole setting in strong winds outside urban areas or at high speed. I understand that your concern must have been keeping the weight of the setting as low as possible... 🙏

Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6KamHuVpc-dr9U I have one client who regularly bombs hills reaching 50+MPH. The canopy performs well if 'tuned' to perform well.

[@benazeddine5255]

@@LogNotching Sure it will, if the angle to the wind is well tuned and no sidewinds/crosswinds present. 🙏

[@benazeddine5255]

@@LogNotching Thx for referring me to the wind test video. I have watched it and do agree with you that the test in the prevalent wind conditions that day was convincing that the canopy is well built and performed well. Congratulations. Could you please do a similar test in windy conditions with the extra weight of the solar panel used in present video?🙏

[@LogNotching]

@@benazeddine5255 No. This build was custom built for the client; he was very well pleased. Since then, Ken passed away.

[@benazeddine5255]

@@LogNotching Sorry to hear that Ken passed away. Tomorrow I will be 79 years and I am still Bicycle/trike touring, 5 months of the year, with No-EL-Assist, a trailer hooked up for my camping gear (total 65 kg equipment and my own 112 kg weight to carry. Lost 17 kg on my 2022 tour). Does it mean that the Canopy is not produced anymore?🙏🙏🙏🌍🌎🌏🚲🚲🚲

That is so darn cool and it gets better with each video.

[@LogNotching]

I just 'do things'! Ken had ideas and I tried to develop 'em and learn in the process. Miss him, for sure. Thanks for watching.

Magnifique!

[@JOHNNYFUTS]

Awesome trikes!!! I love it!!!

[@Bjeka1970]

with a roof, good idea, but why do you have a studded tire?

[@LogNotching]

The gentleman who owned this trike passed away a few years ago, But I got to know him fairly well and he had a reason it was valid.

[@KeithAVass]

What is the purpose of a WINDSHEILD? Surely this stops the free flow of cooling air???

[@LogNotching]

Also bugs, rain, snow, sand and it adds bling and a neat place for decals. BTW: There is a generous slot between the fabric and the windshield for airflow (if desired). It can be installed and removed in a minute or so and I can supply a docking system on the Gear Rack if touring for extended periods of time during which use may be periodic. If you don't think a windshield is useful........, don't install one! The owner of this custom trike requested it......, so I supplied one.

Where was your dust mask young man?

[@LogNotching]

Gave it a, dust-off!

[@dawvidben-huir8101]

I would like to know, how much that this set-up, minus the solar panel would cost. 🙄
