Introduction : Recumbent Bicycling System The first recumbent appears in the journal "La Nature" N ° 1220 of October 17, 1896, page 305. This "Bicyclette normale" of Mr. Ch Challand was presented at the Swiss National Exhibition of Geneva. His advantage is the comfort and peak power. Now the rest of this invention is the little pedal car for children. It exists also cars for adult with one, two or four seats. The best results of the recumbent is the top speed of 130 km/h on 200 m run with flying-start and 84 km for one hour run. Realization : Short Wheel Base Date : 2000 It is the first HPV of my conception. Very simple, I use a 24" bicycle frame. I weld on it a pedal system with a part of tube. The seat is made of plisse plywood. With this HPV I ride many hours. It climbs very good, despite of its 19 kg, thanks to his 21 speeds and mountain bike pedal system. I have used it during four years. I use it also in winter. My prefered journeys are : Ecublens - Geneva - Ecublens (123 km, one time); Ecublens - Les Paquots - Ecublens (91 km); Ecublens - Vevey - Ecublens (68 km); Ecublens - Yverdon - Ecublens (75 km, one time).
Use: may 2000 to February 2004. News: I reuse it for winter 2006-2007. |
