... Hi Alex, I think the Phiaro is superior in aesthetics and aerodynamics. While there is no evidence it has ever been in a wind tunnel, you do get the strong...

My quasar has the hammock seat and I don't think it makes paddling around harder (or easier). My shoulders go back against the bodywork and I am reasonably...
Peter, Only thing that comes to mind would be a fork lock to prevent rotation, as you say; you could then paddle straight rearward. For forward minor drive,...
... If you go for an electric solution I gues the lock could be electrically actuated by the same circuit. Should work, but seems a lot of gubbins. Thinking...
Correct. This is a specific Quasar problem, it's got collossal trail. It will be found that a rigid seat back also helps considerably. Overall weight below...
The answer form one of their top guys is they liked the look of it. From the side the bubble of a cockpit with the wheel sticking out is what they wanted. ...
Top reply: IMO, Carver should've done what all the "biggies" do; make two models, one w/closed nose & one open, and done a consumer survey. Not to mention...

GD; Some people like to answer questions. Common motives are to help others or show off their knowledge or just to participate. Others like to whine about...
Ah. I see the problem. You think Magna panels are, um, panels. Nope. It's semi-monocoque, with 1" foam between 1" tubing, fiberglass skin on both inner and...

I believe the question of whether foot support shouild be replaced by outriggers is purely a matter of the wieght of the vehicle and the design intent. If the...
GD; It is not rocket science to point out that the twin front wheels need not be in the way of the rider's feet in a stretched MP3 layout, probably with a...
