35 mph at sub 200 watts! these things are amazing feats of engineering!
Imagine what if put athlete here 300 400 watts
@@dmitryhetman1509 You can't send 400 W, it's too hot inside.
@@StoiLeTube you can use 400w motor
That cadence is crazy though. Did he run out of gears?
Though it is downhill, a cart going downhill can catch that speed if someone was moving it.
200W 38MPH, AERO really is fucking E V E R Y T H I N G
These things just have a nearly perfect aerodynamic form. Still freaking astonishing! 🙂😯
because no slopes there
So cool! I raced in 92 and 93 for Chico Sate. We were only one of three schools with full carbon monocoque frames and carbon Kevlar fairings. 180 psi front tire and a 67 tooth chainring. Brakes and shifters custom made by Paul Components. Such great me memories/unique experience.
First time learning there's another meaning for the acronym HPV.
HPV World Champs - Oh, this gonna be nasty... never mind.
Hey they need some fun event too. You don’t just stop living… if ur gonna have big bumps down there, may as well win something for them.
Thanks for sharing this! I designed/built/rode an HPV on my college team in the 1990s. Such a beautiful sport--the combination of engineering, sport, and human ability is pure art!
this game has incredible graphics
but the vehicle designs are so unrealistic. the characters and story are cool though.
Now can someone put Ganna in one of these things?
There is a 100t chainring available. He'd need one, I guess.
Never knew this sport existed before this was displayed to my eyes - absolutely wonderful!
Tried one of these during early-mid 1980s, and only a single of these in my town of 300.000 habitants, so thought it was pure retro class.
But now with Garmin mount, dedicated race track, safety and other non-80ies things - heck, I'm moving to the UK!
Amazing video! Just promise to polish the windshield for next year. 😉
Germany approaches
Damn, this looks really cool. The speed is insane.
How much power does the enclosure save over the guys on normal recumbents? Id love to see some strava data
Great race, congratulations! 😃
My, these things go FAST. Knew they existed but never saw an onboard.
Must feel like flying, sitting in a cockpit-like capsule, that close to the ground, that fast! I could imagine ditching my road bike and doing some laps in these... 😄👍
Love how he retracts his landing gear after takeoff...
It's fantastic that you're taking the time to raise awareness of this terrible virus. Where can I donate?
Also, that is a seriously big chainring.
Viruses have never been isolated.
@@Sam-m6o3j :)
250 watts and 35mph? Wtf is that thing?
This one trick the UCI doesn't want you to know.
Aero
Better than a movie. A couple of scary "INSIIIIDE!" moments, but you are singing along at an incredible pace Russell. I don't know who was inside the blue/white velomobile in the beginning but he is fast too. Can't wait until my streamliner is finished.
Magnificent! - Great to see you & Woodstock doing so well.
Russ, is the view out for you clearer than the camera portrays? Looks manic and great fun. I did notice that your power output for 30-34 mph is the same as me on the road bike at about 20 mph, just proves what affects speed/efficiency most. PS thanks for the credit at the beginning 🙂 PPS I watched the first 2 laps then skipped bits.
Yes the view out is clearer than this video portrays, although it's not helped by the scratches on the screen from the crash at Lancaster. The only times you lose vision are when a low-racer is outside of you in a tight corner - you lose sight of them altogether....
This was awesome. ... Good watch! 👍👍
This is really cool but "HPV World Championship" is some unfortunate titling
They gave up holding the other one, a team from Essex won every year.
@@michaelmartin9022
OP is referencing the “Human Papilloma Virus” (HPV). 😆
@@keirfarnum6811 guy was also stating an obvious joke, "essex"..
👏👏👏@@michaelmartin9022
I watched to find out what a Human Papilloma Virus championship was all about.
Only “pure bloods” allowed. 😆
Wel, now you know…. 😉
35mph with less than 200W... wow
add one more gear and that dude is a rocket
how is this not as popular or more than F1?
its poorly named
Because it's niche and pretty boring for an average viewer.
Because the combined net worth of all involved people is less than the ad budget for one season of F1. Plus way fewer people care about cycling in general.
@@lbgstzockt8493 You'd be surprised how many people care about some kind of cycling,there are a lot of categories tho,and this is a very niche one
This is like the F1 of cycling! Most people only care about the Nascar of cycling or the Timed Trials (regarded as one of the most boring forms of car racing, you even have to obey speed limits!) of cycling. I guess the Rallying of cycling is cool, too. 500-odd bikes start at once from the top of a mountain, the rider who is least dead wins.
Is your right leg rubbing against the chain as you pedal? Maybe it's just the perspective.
Yeah I saw that too
I'm so happy to be alive at this moment. To be able to see Human ingenuity and craftsmanship develop these amazing machines, powered by the body. Inspiring.
They existed for like a decade or 2 already.
HPV's were seemingly the "next big thing" back in the early 1980's and into the early 1990's. Then, for whatever reason, they just kind of faded into the background. I knew three HPV builders in Eugene, Oregon when I was going to the UofO, but, they're all gone now. I wish they had made a bigger 'splash" than that.
Tu the 1h race? It's a dream!
I see a guy ride one of these every morning. I’m sure he uses it for commute. He even rides it in the winter when it’s snowing
Never ridden one but it looks super exciting and the fully faired bike reminds me of the ‘Dustbin fairing’ on motorbikes in the mid 50’s when they first lapped the IOM at over 100mph. Amazing speed and consistent cadence is awesome to watch and I think the video does make one feel like it’s you riding. Your approach and corner speed on the last corner before the start finish are fantastic and gave you such a slingshot down the straight it was very satisfying to watch. So if you didn’t win it Russell I am guessing top 3? Well done, loved it.
Ah sorry 5th! Banging! 💥💥💥
This is awesome! I wonder whether it's harder to put down power in this position compared to a road bike as those power numbers are what you would see in a local C grade crit. Absolutely insane that they can hold 35mph at 200W though! Would be amazing to see the speeds a field of good A grade riders would do. Imagine Would Tour level riders!
Have actually ridden with & around HPV's(Seagull Century, Salisbury Md). First time seeing an actual race. Need more. 35 mph ave at 200 watts :))
Would love the content if the windshield is more clearer? Maybe put the camera outside for clearer view
Aerodynamics is everything, so... I doubt that anyone competing in a world championship will mount a camera out where it's going to generate drag just for better production value or more clicks on RUclips. The video documents the event, which is the objective: The video itself isn't the objective, or the reason for competing.
It must get pretty hot inside that fairing
What’s the button on his left leg?
It is funny that from the inside I don't hear the rattling sound I heard when you passed by!
Not sure how I got here… but I’m fascinated.
Interesting that the racing is unlike a typical criterium.
How is this thing not mainstream in bike racing. If its faster than roadbikes.
Hills, mountains, tight turns, heavy crosswinds...
@@russshaber8071 well.... Rally racing could be popular so is F1 and nascar which go in a circle lol
@@tommywong3147 As long as the track is flat. Maybe bicycle drag races?
The UCI made them illegal to race in classics in the 30s after Frenchman Charles Mochet invented the first recumbent bike which broke a world record easily. From then, what could have made cycling a LOT more appealing to many people, and faster overall as well, sadly got very little attention.
recumbents were banned by the cycling federation a long time ago...i am not really overly sure why, except the advantage they had over a traditional bike
Who won the Squidwert Cup?
Glad to see HPV champs still hanging in there despite the HPV vaccine
Very cool
This is the way of the future
I wanna see these guys race against the Australians version of this sport (AHPVSS). Would be really interesting to see. I reckon we could give you a run for your money
Machine!
cool stuff 🤙🤙
Need to get some of American Magic yacht race team into this, they are pushing 500W peak I think, but they are big guys too.
A neighbour has one, always wondered what it was, and now randomly came across this video 😂
That was awesome
LEGIT QUESTION
· What if you made a 2-seater (side-by-side or in a line)? How much faster could you go?
Skin friction, rolling resistance, and drivetrain losses are not exactly negligible, but frontal area dominates for streamliners like these. To a first approximation, air resistance is proportional to velocity squared. So if he's limited now by P = k * 36^2 or sqrt(P/k) = 36, then doubling P would allow an increased speed by a factor of the square root of 2 = 1.414, which works out to about 51 mph sustained.
@@username34159265 that's pretty damn fast!
Sb should build a 3 seater tandem configuration (behind each other) and sit 3 TdF winners able to put out 1200 Watts continously. That contraption should be able to attain at least an 80 mph average (on a flat circuit)
Throw a track sprinter in there for passing and breakaways
@@wertacus If you want to fit a track sprintes legs in there it needs to be twice as wide lol
@SuperZardo look for Team Sprocket Rocket , WHPV Championships Battle Mountain, Nevada. My wife was the brake/gearing stoker on the Ladies world record team. 61.94 mph flying mile. Average age of around 55 yrs. Captain was the fastest human cyclist ever at Bonneville (183.93 mph). Stokers included two track cyclists with world stripes and two distance cyclists.
You need a Rockford Fosgate sub-woofer....
This should be a bigger thing!
Yes boss smoothly does it
Damn i'm sweating just by watching it
Racing more interesting than F1 #98
How does one get into doohickey racing
Why does it look like his leg is rubbing on the chain. Ouch?
I want to live in a world where these replace cars.
Why coast on the corners? It’s not possible to pedal strike, right?
Impossible to change your weight distribution on these tho,unlike on a normal bike. So i'd imagine it's pretty easy to lose front grip
very aero, true that. but climbing would be pretty much impossible for you, right? like when it is 15%?
How about a mountain stage?
Wow
Wow... only 200 average watts. What a shame.
Why don't they have hand cranks? Get the arms into it.
"Human powered vehicle"
Humm... you mean... bikes?
2024 HPV World Championships was a *Bumpy* ride. 🤦
how do u do this for an hr at 170bpm and not die? :0
beeing trained?
Exciting race footage.
Glad that athletes with Genital warts get their own race circuit.
🤓
awesome stuff... drop the mph... please go with logical units.... try riding a recumbent here in New Zealand , you get brickbats and stones... Neanderthals!
Fast, but the watts are low! And why didn't you sprint that last guy for 4th?
I would guess the other guy had at least a lap on him.
at least its not dangerous.
If you add some lights, a wheel and perhaps a motor, you have got the future of transportation right here
you could built some crazy efficient electric cars in a similar "teardrop" style. i guess with three wheels (or some fancy gyros holding you upright on a two wheeler), two people sitting in tandem and using conventional steel/alu build you would end up with a 300-500kg vehicle using a third of the energy modern EVs do. the problem is people want to drive around in 2.5 ton SUVs instead of a tiny and efficient vehicle.
@@Digi20 Volkswagen tried this with the XL1. It was more of a concept car but they managed to get amazing efficiency: 0,9L of gas per 100 kilometers and only 8 horsepower needed to keep 100km/h speed. Really interesting stuff, I encourage you to look it up because it fits your description almost perfectly.
HPV world champs is an unfortunate name. To avoid negative associations I suggest calling the event the Advanced Independent Drive Single track vehicle world championships (AIDS world champs).There, problem solved, you can thank me later!
Spend the money and get a windshield that provides clear visibility. Your wind screen is clouded dog shit.
Suppose it says it in the name 😂
human-powered vehicle lol. You mean, like a bike?
The guys that ran the big bike races (and probably manufactured them lol) banned any and all ingenuity in bike design, so these have to go by a different name now
チキチキモーレース
most white british thing ever
I know a girl who could win the "HPV" championship my lawd 😂😅
Sick!!!!
Does it get hot in there?
