326 E-Velo
The time has come for another build. The main purpose of this build is to create a YouTube video series and to create a set of plans to build this very velomobile! It will also make running errands around town a whole lot more fun.
The inspiration for this build comes from the ELF and PEBL velomobiles. I love that those machines can carry passengers, have great road presence and are extremely practical for everyday use.
I want to try and ensure that this vehicle is easily maintained, and that means making a shell that is either easily removable, or has access panels to all critical components so that fixing a flat or derailleur adjustments are semi straightforward.
