They have suspension and electronics etc.. which I guess piles on the weight. <br /><br />So what is the Plexusphere?Doug Culnanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539164499743848586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860987473436010329.post-44185308272020799352011-05-31T02:48:33.868+01:002011-05-31T02:48:33.868+01:00Of course I chose to "waste" them - enjo...Of course I chose to "waste" them - enjoyed every minute. I have to say I did not know much about velomobiles before your post. There isn't even that much on YouTube about them, which means they are somehow more obscure than Moths, which I did not think possible for a bicycle (trike). Anyway I find I am only good in the garage for four hours at a stretch, and we don't have a TV. So Velomobiles were a welcome distraction. There is a cool one of a Mango going around Brisbane (I think) also.Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160777531235205252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860987473436010329.post-76522453285936076742011-05-30T21:11:24.984+01:002011-05-30T21:11:24.984+01:00Hi Karl,

There must be not much to do in the Plexusphere.<br /><br />DougDoug Culnanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539164499743848586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860987473436010329.post-75149584016642565982011-05-30T16:23:27.119+01:002011-05-30T16:23:27.119+01:00Doug: Thanks for wasting hours of my life.

A whole fairing should weigh maybe 20lb, not 40! Lots of room for improvement. But very cool. Back to the Plexusphere now.Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160777531235205252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860987473436010329.post-43585426923882418652011-05-28T21:56:47.158+01:002011-05-28T21:56:47.158+01:00very, very cool!
