Sure thing, I'd love to see when it's complete

@@bounding_star Awesome. I will absolutely send it to you when it is finished.

Murray Bridge, South Australia

You know it was built and named in 2010, painted yellow as a salute to the cancer council, because Robbo was being treated for cancer at the time. We figured it was a "Break Away" from our traditional bullet trikes and totally broke our colour scheme. The racing trikes normally got complementary paint jobs. Guess if BreakAway retired, XCalibur and Veyron aren't in use either, and really doesn't bode well for 2Fast4U or XLR8 even existing anymore, even as parts.

The laps on this track are about 2km, with the top teams totalling 1300km or more and top school teams over 1000km. My team last year reached 830km which was a pretty good result

Hello! -The race was originally organised by a local university, which is still a major sponsor although now there is a seperate organisation that coordinates the events -not sure what you mean, that might've got lost in translation -each team pays several hundred dollars to enter each race depending on the race duration. The best trikes cost around $10000 although when the race was first founded, every team built their own trike for much cheaper, and eventually competition caused the requirements to increase -the trikes are really quite simple, aside from the operation and safety systems, the only other requirements are a horn and lighting for the night races If you have any more questions, I'm happy to help!

@@yao4738 I don't see a lot of "owwww, get it off quick!" in motorsports. Definitely exclusive to lycra shorts and cycling.

There's a number of different manufacturers, some of the most common ones are Trisled, Trump Trikes, GTrikes, Tru Blu, Sutton Cycles (not sure if Sutton still sells them). Most of them have websites where there is more info

You might want to check out the velomobiles made in the Netherlands, like the Alpha 7, Quattrovelo, Quest or other European made velomobiles like the WAW, Milan, DF, Leiba, etc.

there are actually some types of velomobiles designed for commuters, would make commuting a lot more fun

Thanks!

I hope you go well! Xavier has some very capable trikes, especially combined with training on recumbents, so aim high! I'll be sure to visit the pits at the 24 hour

Thanks, only problem is I don't think I'll make it to Green Edge this year and stay in Veyron but I'll try my best! Think I'm gonna go anyway to support the team though!

@@gergleshmerf3544 Veyron is the trike that will make you fittest haha

Geredd Hayes you got that right

from what i've heard he wasnt too badly off

@@bounding_star what's the name of the bike he is in and do you know the price

@@lawrencesmith8819 Thats a Trump Trikes either Elite or Sport, they range from about $7k to $10k new, I've just gotten to race an Elite and they are fun to say the least

For this race we did about 720km over the 24 hours although we spent a long time off of the track repairing mechanical problems

@@bounding_star thank you for the infornation. Regards from Mexico.

@@bounding_starin each vehicle how many riders took the 24hr race

@@bodegacruzazul Our team was 8 riders, everyone did 3 1 hour rides.

@@bounding_star thankyou for the answer.

There's a number of professional cyclists who've raced in these races, some of them have done pretty well although honestly the margin between them and some of the high school teams is smaller than you would expect. I think the biggest thing that would happen if there was pro pedal prix races is that the trikes would become more popular and cheaper for consumers

Barking bad is a high school team who came 7th overall at this race last year. It would be interesting to see but most racers enjoy having a few primary school teams to over take.

As with any sport when the money hits it you would see the bottem and middle priced out, and the regulations that would be added would see to that, if only to maintain and justify the cost and sponsorship. What you have here is brilliant, hang onto it as it is for as long as you can.

in greenedge there really is no seat adjustment you just get a piece of foam to put you closer to the pedals and there is about 7 or 8 to a team

lostjr though some vehicles have moveable seats. Some of the quickest ones now have adjustable booms, meaning you can move where the pedals are in respect to the seat

Millsy MB very true

GreenEdge is an old trike but it’s comfy and it is like 10+ years old so over the holidays it’s getting a new chassis and major body repairs

Because after the race had finished the guy that was in it got t-boned on crash corner and we bent the chassis and put a crack down the middle of the back of the body and put holes in a few other places

that was training because we train on a dirt track

Thanks! You might be in luck, the races including the 24 hour are usually livestreamed :P

the trike i was riding was i think a custom built one but the one in front of me is a greenspeed not sure what model

It has taken a long time for this event to become as big as it has, you never know what might be possible

just need them to get mass produced so they can be as cheap as a bike

some of these bikes can be worth up to 10 grand

Would also the help with obesity and environmental issues.

I would love to, but in my town the elevation change is significantly high, riding this would be pain in the ass

Imagine an alternate reality where combustion engines never invented.

The top teams can average 50km/h or more for a whole race and average over 60km/h on a race lap, much faster in the sprint demonstrations

Cheers!

Geredd Hayes can’t wait to go to Murray bridge this year

Geredd Hayes im also in GreenEdge this year

Geredd Hayes and we got a trump trike last year

good stuff, hows greenedge running?

3593893 The fairing/ roll cage is made by ozone fairings, I'm not sure who actually made the chassis

Marcelo Moreira Fortune Days by Glitch Mob, Animus Vox by Glitch Mob, and Daybreak by Overwerk

2urbi9 our team had about 8 riders, the 24 hour race had over 200 teams and the 6 hour over 100 i think, in the races each of us spent about an hour in the trike at a time

Thx

Steven B the race is open for anyone 12 years and older

But far more exciting.

Left screen has the lap times for our 2 trikes, right screen has their locations on the track. GPS locations are given by a cheap phone with a couple of battery packs in each of the trikes. Especially important to have the trikes locations so that we can find them in the event of a breakdown

That's cool, what software/ apps where you using at the event?

These are known as velomobiles, and most of the ones you see here are specifically designed for the australian international pedal prix series
