Thanks Gotte!
It rides great, even if it has the turning radius of a SEMI!
The 72 speeds make it possible to ride almost anywhere. And I've noticed that drivers always pass with PLENTY of room! I guess they have to give enough room so that they can see it in it's entirety.
It is 15 feet long from tip to tail.
That picture was taken at the start of a mass ride from Felton, down hiway 9 to Santa Cruz.
On one clear stretch of the descent, we hit 46.2 mph! (the road was blocked to car traffic, btw)
The length makes for quite a stable ride. Just glad no one got in our way, as it's a runaway freighttrain at that speed!
UPhills are a different story. We averaged
.8 mph on the climb.
With all 5 of us onboard, it weighs just over a quarter TON!
If you're ever in the area, you're welcome to try it out!
