We're approved and registered to run our "tri-brid" Motorized Bicycle on the 130 Club track.
Human powered bicycle
Bafang 1000W electric motor, bottom-bracket drive
Tanaka 47R 2-stroke engine, single-speed belt-drive
Our rider can pedal along with the electric drive up to about 25mph, at which point we throttle up the high geared single speed gas drive.
The electric will help the gas up to about 35mph, then it's all about whatever the 47R can do on it's own.
Assembly 95% complete, testing begins next week.
We have high hopes for our top speed, but we're wondering what happens if we discover that we need a second mile to achieve it?
Does anyone know if a team can pay the $100 and upgrade to the 150 Club course before or at the event? Our number plates are finished, so if we could upgrade, could we keep our number?
Thanks in advance for any info you care to share.
