Quad build.

[Emiel]

Wow great video , looks like an advert for a commercial product , bet you get asked ' where can we buy one of these '.

Was it all shot in the Netherlands ? the scenery looks great.

All the best Paul

Thank you Paul, Danny and Maddox.

Sadly not all footage could be used because we lost a part of the recordings, but we made a small introduction video for our promotion.
Yes people asked if we build them and if they can buy one.
On the meeting i have let others ride on it. Everyone was impressed and 2 people are interested to build one them self.

That is Helmond where i live.
The castle id in the city center.
The Forrest is near Geert and the hill is also close to the city center. We didn't need to ride far for everything. The stairs are near the train station.
A little bit of promotion for Helmond.

Here a video from one of the people that was on the meeting.
He and others drove my quad and now he wants one.

Today we did a nice off-road ride with the quads. We went on mtb roads and it went very well. Even when the road was narraw, we could ride it with no problems.

It was something else than we normaliter do.

The quads where pused but that was no problem ad all.

We worked on the quads today.
There is now a frame on my quad for the roof.
Wednesday i will put a plate on top and ad some other things.

Are you having anything at the sides - maybe roll down windows like a tent?

I don't know if i do roll down. It is better, but some sides on the top will surtenly come.
Roll down i can cover more, but i am still thinking about it.

guessing where your head will be , could not the highest bit behind the seat be curved down to the lowest piece near your feet ? helping streamlining it and saving electrons pushing the bluff front through the air ?

That makes it harder to get on the quad.
Now i still can get easy on it.

Maybe i ad a part above the feed if needed, but i prefer not to. It makes it harder to get on the quad and i don't want that.

We worked today on my quad.
Took the rear off, cutte the frame in two and shortened the wheel base 20 cm.
The rear was not good. The axle mount wasn't in a straight line, so we are going to solve that.
As that is done, i can mount the rear wheel arms back on. The suspension mount will follow as the wheels are aligned.

The steering will also be changed, but that will be the last thing. I need my quad in august, so i want it ready for then and as i have time, i change the steering.

The shorter wheel base, makes that i can ride better off-road on mtb trails.
The caravan is from the back and no roof. Safes weight and makes that i can ride better on the mtb trails.
The caravan will also change, but that will be next year.

Here is a folder with the images from today.

The quad gets a rak on the back so i can carry some stuff on the back.

That's some real surgery going on there Emiel.

Yes, we just cut the frame in half and took a lot metal off and more will go.
It is back to the basic concept with a few changes.

 

[Emiel]

Today we mou ted an other seat to the other quad and welded the frame together from my quad.

After that we stopped. It was to hot to work and we ran out of welding wire, so Friday we go further.
It is then also cooler so better to work in.

Good luck that is major. What weight are you expecting at the end for the quad ? Are you allowed to cycle on normal cycle path where you live ? I have heard here trikes are allowed not quads, no idea why quads can actually be more compact
