Please let me introduce the old velomobile i bought just before the Corona lockdowns - a Go-One 3. Designed by Prof Goretzky who had also designed the Smart (car). That specific vehicle was been built in 2007 and had some major changes compared to te original version. To a large degree improvements.
The velomobile had been added a 36V motor which is not conforming to the current regulations (but must have been legal at its time). At least since 2013, probably earlier, it had been driven alost without maintenance and therefor needs to be restored. Unfortunately the wind screen was broken - but luckily outside the field of view.
Here some pics:
The last picture shows the state with a new back wheel, new cassette and new chain installed. There were still many problems, especially that not all gears could be used.
In this thread i will show a few general modifications NOT concerning the aerodynamics but of course making te vehicle usable again and improving its overall efficency. If there is interest. The aerodynamic specific questions - there are MANY, the GoOne 3 is the slowest of the fast looking velomobiles - will be discussed seperately, probably in the aerodynamics section.
BTW: test drives showed that both tops slowed down the bike, even compared to the full cabrio version.
