Hopefully i can discover how the pedals are attached to the frame and then i can make a descision on what i need to use.
On a normal bike you cruze like 20 to 25km/h. With the velomobile, thanks to the aero benefit, you cruze with the same effort at 30 to 35km/h. That is a nice benefit.
Only when you need to climb a hill. The extea weight will work averse and slow you down. Until it is back downhill.
I used to have an 45km/h pedelec with a 350W crank motor. I aim aiming for equal power. Like the 350W or the 500W version. |
Keep in mind, if your motor is inside the velo shell (as something like a BBS02 or your hub motor on the chain), you'll need to allow for some airflow for cooling it. Most of these things have specs based on running in open air, so you may need to de-rate some.
