The Cyclists Psalm 147:10-11, He does not delight in the strength of horses nor is He pleased in the legs of man, but the Lord delights in those that fear him & hope in His mercy.

 Reynolds Weld Lab has been hard at work for the past several years, (deep in the wilderness of New Hampshire), developing a Velocar. The chassis is a full suspension tadpole trike that has been extensively road tested & refined. The shell is still in  development, but we have a prototype that has been pulled off the custom male plug mold. After some minor modifications , a female mold will be made to produce the finished product. We have built front ends & suspensions for race cars & Solar vehicles in the past & it just seemed like it was the right time to combine this w/ our recumbent experience & become a car manufacturer. We are very excited about the Green-Go. We are very pleased w/ the ride & handling of the chassis, & feel it will make a nice Velocar. The chassis is fabricated of Al alloy w/ McPherson Strut front suspension 3" travel & 4" rear air shock swing arm, Disk brakes, Side stick steering , adjustable cranks & seat wgt ~ 40#.  The shell will be a combo of composite, plastic & alloy. Pricing: Complete ridable chassis ~$3500, Complete Shell : $2000+.

  For the past 6 Winters I have been riding, testing & refining practical streamlined recumbents. It is often hard to predict how well a design will handle, so the best way to find out is to ride it. For Winter performance, handling, stability & comfort trump speed. Southern New Hampshire Winters can be a real challenge for a cyclist, as we are on the edge of the Temperate/Sub Artic weather zone. Often temperatures can go well below zero *F, & winds can gust to >40 MPH. Wind Chill factors start getting real bad for riders on exposed bikes when the temperature drops to the mid 20's. Comparatively, the enclosed rider can ride in comfort in sub zero weather. Two concern I have had w/ the 2 wheelers is cross wind stability & traction. Cross wind stability can be addressed by good design, minimizing side area & proper wgt distribution. I have built bikes that were almost unridable w/ winds 25-30 mph. One LWB Streamliner I rode sent me into the snow bank several times. OTOH my SWB Z-Bone Dual 700 is very stable in 30 mph winds. My favorite 2 wheel streamliner has been a Dual 20 Z-Bone, open cockpit w/ sliding windshield, closed sides & partially enclosed bottom. This bike was very stable, warm & fun to ride. Traction on icey surfaces is a special issue for recumbent bikes, possibly studded tires can help but for me avoidance is the best policy. Normally w/in 2-3 days after a big snow storm the roads are clear enough to ride around here if your careful. Here 3 wheels have an obvious advantage. Much of my experience riding these machines has gone into the design of the Green-Go Velocar.

  I will try to keep this site up to date. I'll be glad to answer any questions. At present you may contact me at (603-432-7327) 0r email reynoldsweldlab@yahoo.com.
