This year’s vehicle is paying special attention to rider comfort to ensure maximum force and performance at competition. The team member’s dimensions were recorded, averaged, and taken into account when dimensioning the vehicle and all vehicle components. The rider will be positioned semi-recumbently with access to the crankset, pedals, and handlebars with no strain.
Aerodynamic testing will be completed on the fairing design to determine the advantage versus the negative of the weight. The fairing will protect the rider from possible weather disadvantages such as rain, wind, and dirt kickup, thus improving the overall comfort of the rider during use of the vehicle.
Further design decisions and updates will be provided here!
