An australian velomobile and trike producer Trisled has published an amazing pictures of their velomobile concept on their Facebook page. Here is what they write about it:

This is the latest concept vehicle to come out of the ‘Sled Cave’. It’s a 4 seat velomobile we have build for a client who plans to ride it across Australia for charity. We’re sure they’re going to get plenty of attention in this bad boy! It’s been a fun but testing build and a great chance to experiment with the concept. Keen followers of the Trisled page would have already seen the rolling chassis in action but here it is with its Coreflute body on.

Here is a link to more pictures on Facebook.

Ben Godall of australian Trisled trikes and velomobiles has announced on his Facebook page he plan to fight in the World Human Powered Speed Championships in Battle Mountain, Nevada, USA in autumn 2012. Here is what he writes there just yeasterday:
“Ever since I was a boy I have loved going fast, especially under my own steam in a human powdered vehicle! I’ve always loved exploring this limit and there has always been little voice in my head asking “how fast can you go Ben?”

Half a lifetime of experiences, relationships and building my business of building HPV’s for others have prevented me from answering this question. Until now!
I’ve decided to spend most of my free time and funds in 2012 training and custom building a Speed bike HPV to enter the World Human Powered Speed Championships in Nerada desert USA.

I’m not treating this as a land speed record attempt, but rather a well being exercise. To achieve my highest speed I’ll need to tap into all the knowledge and resources of my community, all of my experience of HPV building and prepare both my body and mind.
I don’t think I can set a new land speed record and simply aim to be within reach of the elite few…But who knows! All I do know is I’ve got to have a go at this before I get to old ”

On the web page of Trisled we have found an interesting picture of the work bike built as a recumbent quad. Well, only the information about cargo quad would be interesting enough, but they also offer it with 4″ fat tyres. The look of the bike is really impressive. They recommend it for agricultural use, because the fat tyres do not demage the grass. But one would said that this machine can be almost used for winter race in Alaska called Iditarod. don´t you think?
