I found some more Fact Sheets, about my early Human Powered Vehicle. I hope the diagram enables someone to construct something similar (it's a "No-Weld" construction. It looks like the red bushings and the blue frame rails didn't line up perfectly in this print. You could do it without the bushings (skateboard bushings) . The important thing is to attach a couple of six-foot pipes to the top tube of a bike, which are the equivalant of Frame Rails. You could mount any kind of "body" on top. This was before I got good at fiberglass, and if you're not proficiant at fiberglass, this construction method might work for you. You could mount a coroplast (corrugated plastic) box or fairing on top, or mount milk crates. IMPORTANT NOTE: I switched to using U-bolts, with a piece of old inner tube around the tube, because the frame rails cracked where the bolt-hole was drilled though.

This method does not work with a Ladies Frame, on account the Frame Rails would be pointed upward on the front, and would contact the rear wheel on the rear. This problem was solved by my Daughter , Mellisa, who designed the Fiberglass Ladies Bicycle (Type 9), and I used her method also on the Type 10.

Type 9:



Okay, for a recap, here are the other two flyers I handed out. I printed these because there was such a large number of people asking about the bike, that I did NOT have time to talk to them all. It's a free country and I have the Right to print anyting I like, right?




Good luck building your HPV, Velomobile, or Utility Bike, I hope this post gives you some inspiration.
