I'm looking forward to seeing a video of this thing literally flying around the track. Because flymo. If nothing else you should make one of those stopmotion videos of you going around the track but always in the air, throw a flymo commerical image or clip/overlay into the mix and you're onto a winner.

possibly a hijack.? ive got no idea on velobikes 'rules' but has anyone tried a petrol generator running an electric motor?

 

my mates dad used to have one of these flymos, tied a rope to the handle and dangled it down his super steep back section to mow where he couldnt push a wheeled one. they only sucked dragging them round when not running lol.
