Dude that trike is awesome...i wonder if it has suspension to lean like that...

[wojtek]

it looks like tripendo

[sk8norcal]

edit: beat me to it..

that's a tripendo,
http://www.tripendo.com

i believe it controls tilt by the fore-aft side sticks,
and twist throttle for steering... not sure..

[wojtek]

damn i wish i knew ((

I would have definitely taken part in it.

more info here in german: http://www.r-m.de/aktuelles/details/id/193/

they had few different categories:
-up to 25kmh - pedalec
-up to 45kmh - pedalec
- prototypes [that would be 99.9% of the ES members ]

It doesnt say if prototypes had to have pedalec system or not.

I guess the winner here would be someone with balls to lean on the curves and high torque! Imagine torque of astro 3220 with high speed of 25kmh max LOL

proto tripendo ? quadpendo?

Wow nice...but doesnt that quad look like it would snap like a twig under power offroad?

[knoxie]

That looks like a great race, super slick video as well, love the flypass video as well, very nice indeed, some interesting bikes there as well

[sk8norcal]

why did the guy at 1:26 in the second video remove his battery ??

[wojtek]

it was empty so he wanted to get rid of the additional weight to be lighter

[sk8norcal]

that tilting quad is called the carvx,
forgot i blogged it...

Looks like a human-power-only segment.

you are right! i watched again. One guy took out the battery, another one took out the digital display when stopped...
That is interesting! Good i installed quick release battery boxes lol! otherwise good luck pedalling with tons of batteries and DD drive!

It seems like BMC V2T with quick release batteries would be the winner in such race!

the rules of this race..
the prototype category has no limitations whatsoever!

5 laps with electric assist + 1 lap human only.

[grindz145]

should be in the ebike section...

I like this dude's gardening gloves and middle-finger brake trigger style...

[Green Machine]

I think that guy also has some kids hockey helmet on...

And how do you like the kneepads and teeshirt combo?


Those Euro guys really know how to do it.
