You need sprint power and endurance, it's a 5mile ride not a 2 lap sprint. A small sprinter with good power like mark Cavendish would be a good choice. Its a bit of a squeeze in these machines, no big guys allowed!
where are the enclosed narrow track commuter vehicles,we could eliminate the need for half the worlds oil use,emissions,increased range for electrics.Streamlining,aerodynamics cold cut the cord for oil in the Middle East,we don't need it.
There's another video on UA-cam somewhere of Sebastiaan getting a flat tire just before the timing trap at around 80 mph, sliding off of the crowned road then tumbling end-over-end in the brush. The vehicle held together and he was only shaken up, no concussion.
That happens all the time though because of it's shape it actually doesn't matter that much. It usually just skids on ahead for a long time and since it's so open there is nothing to crash into.
After passing through the timing trap, there is 2/3 of a mile to slow down. The bike had disk brakes. In the catch area, a dozen people were waiting, one or two ran with the bike once it had reached 10 mph to put hands on it and take balance control. The rider continued to brake to a standstill as others surrounded it, held it upright and then removed the shell.
This is often used for engine powered vehicles, both cars and motorbikes. It's due to gearing, to eliminate any losses in transmission and to reduce weight. It is kinda dorky, but if that is what everyone else is doing you have no choice. Kinda like ridiculous ROM and arching in bench press competitions.
@@vulekv93 This was an informed reply , thank you. I have been waiting almost 7 years for a reply.......... :) Looking back at what I put and your reply, your reply makes them pushing him to make more sense to me now
Push and balance assistance is limited to the first 15 m of travel. 3 people are allowed to assist a single rider vehicle. No mechanical mechanisms are allowed. (Assistants on skates are no longer allowed)
The wheels are from the GoCycle, designed by ex-McLaren Formula One designer Richard Thorpe. Made from moulded magnesium alloy... not "China made metals and rubber". Good luck with your world record attempt!
I wonder what a professional short-track cyclist could achieve with this bike. They have massive legs for short burst sprints.
+jospi2 bit heavy though

recumbents use a different muscle group, and being smaller lets you put out more power per size.

We produce more oil here in the US now thanks to President Trump.
Super juiced Lance Armstrong could do 140 on a Schwinn stingray
ez
That's one fast cyclist!
A few people have skateboarded over 200 miles in a day. I wonder how far they could take this thing on an empty road. Across a continent maybe.
Cyclists have ridden their bikes well over 500 miles in a day ;)
Fair enough. You win the internet.
XD Thank you very much for going the extra distance that I didn't have the heart to! I really need a work ethic >.
Can he see?
What do you think would've happened if he'd lost control & crashed/flipped in that feeble housing @ 83 MPH?
carbon fiber

in the time it took you to write that you could of looked it up!
People get them in Colorado.
How did it stop
Crashing into something I guess

@@larrylem3582 Though had high speed the drag is enormous even with it's streamlined design.
Menkooomigen... deal! Those are coming!
Fair play
83 M.P.H. not bad
he shouldnt of been pushed, thats cheating

@@larrylem3582 Thats interesting! Thank you also for that. Another reply to this old comment :)
of course its a dutch guy...
Moving Oval lol!
kwil den holander horen jonge. zet dien brit efkes af.
hue nederland
haha
It's not human power if he was going down a hill.
I could beat this so called record, but would need a much larger gear/linkage / non China made metals and rubber
