Has anyone built something like this? A Swedish bicycle car designed in the -1950?

Bicycle car!

Hello, more ambitious project, something that is on my horizon, it would be an optimal design with an electric motor assist, where space would not fail to condition the batteries. Friend has the details of construction?
Max350,
The first man to build a car like that was Frenchman, Charles Mochet. He invented the recumbent bicycle. You will get a lot more information about him if you google his name.

We'll probably be seeing more efforts in the mini-bicycle-car realm, this summer.
Thanks for the links!

ok guys youve helped me finda ANOTHER future project http://microcarmuseum.com/tour/kingmidget1.html Ill tick off the local by plating it lol
RicksRides,
The chap that Silverbear and I got our motors from built one. Same colour as the one in the museum.
He said that there was someone making the bodies so he bought one and built the rest.
It looked great and he had the body powder coated. If you want I'll PM you his contact information and you can get ahold of him if you have any questions.
It is a worthy project.

Steve that would be great, It will be a while before I can start this but I think it'd be cool just to upset the locals by plating it and driving really slow everywhere.. lol
I do not know, it would be fun to try, have borrowed a book from the library of the Swedish bicycle cars
I do not think it is legal, the only engine that is legal on a bike is an electric motor which drives when pedaling
Max350,
Sorry, I forgot that your stuck with the 250W and the pedlac system. Probably has to be 3 wheels as well so you can say that it's a trike like it is here..

I have come over copies of original drawings for the Swedish bicycle car "Phantom" it is from 1944, the job description is in Swedish. so anyone who wants to read it, must learn Swedish!

I like the velomobiles and faired recumbents. If I built one, it would probably be a tadpole trike with a fabric bubble-top (pull over the bike and lock) and a couple storage bins.
you might want to read this thread the velomobile has been talked about here before...

That's great, classic of the internet. Maybe they need some kind of reflective tape or the orange triangle, to keep the cops off their but. Some kind of turn signals would probably be good, too.
