In this episode I go over some angle grinder basics and cut off the rear triangle from a donor bike. The parts get sand blasted and painted so it doesn't rust while I wait for the materials to arrive.

3d model to printable template
Просмотров 2533 года назад
Very quick tutorial about how to create a template from a 3d model using Lightwave. I left out a few important details but this hopefully will give you a better understanding about my workflow. I use microsoft paint to print the oversized template on a regular home printer (8.5*11) there is a more complete step by step tutorial on my facebook group "velomobile builders"

    You have done a great job, I really like your attention to detail, BUT that has to be the most ridiculous place to put the controller, anything you pick up on your tire ie. dirt, dust, water, mud, etc, is going to cover that pour controlller, .........well I hope you are not to far from home when it quits on you, but you got pedals.....lol......and you are going to happy you do. The pedal assist will be missed on the hills......ya, I've been there more than once. I know this is kind-a negative, but I really just think you should move the controller, maybe put it in a plexiglass 2nd. box........your craftmanship is superb as well as your attention to detail, I made this comment because I have made every mistake there is at least once while doing builds and designs of bikes and trikes.......(Always remember controllers hate water and so do Lithium-Ion batteries)

    • @bentBuilder
      @bentBuilder 6 месяцев назад

      I think my logic behind getting on it from the right is because the kickstand causes the bike to lean to the left. So it has a more open and inviting appeal to it? Idk, it was my first one I've ever made and I didn't give it that much thought.

    Have you ever ridden an MBB recumbent? This seems very difficult to overcome. I'm worried that you won't be able to ride this as a FWD recumbent. I'm worried that it will became just a RWD e-motorcycle... You may risk yor life if you are not familiar with MBB. MBB low racer is very tricky at high speeds.

    • @Balorng
      @Balorng 8 месяцев назад

      I think it the low speeds will be trickier, given the steering geomerty, but yea - the cockpit does not seem particularly suitable for an MBB, but given that you can use motor for high-torque effort it might just work.

    Careful with the pulse MIG welding, it ends up creating a cold weld with many stress risers. Always best to run a continuous bead after tacking. Stoked to see you on RUclips and building cool stuff nonetheless!! Excited to see where this ends up 👍

    • @bentBuilder
      @bentBuilder 8 месяцев назад

      That's a great point to make Chase! I think with the metal being so thin and me pulsing it while the previous puddle is still hot, I can get away with it. :Knock on wood: I know I'm getting full penetration but that doesn't mean stress cracks can't or haven't formed. Time will tell. Thanks for posting

    this looks a bit like the pivot steering on a python, except the pivot point is not in line with your spine. might be tough to get it to turn. you sure you want the over seat steering though? edit: ah, i this it has positive caster, so it's more like a flevo or an airbike. i will follow your progress :)

    If you could come up with a posative offset rim/wheel assembly, that could eliminate that "return to center" linkage system... Putting the center line of the rim/tire assembly in line with the kingpins of the axis's of the upper and lower, would do wonders of that.. But, those spooked rims will be costly though...Just a though... Either way, this was really neat seeing the action of it flexing.. Well done..
