Do you mean this sentence- Power-assist and IHPVA velomobiles are not
it! -?
I put a Currie motor on my bent years ago, and when I wanted
information on higher gearing, possible transmissions, lithium battery
upgrade pros or cons; I was totally shut out of that "old boys club".
No secret ring, I guess, so no Power Assist Yahoo club. I am not a
gril either, whether or not that applies.
Same with velomobiles. I wanted to know how to back them up, get some
"tip over" advise, just basic "dos and donts" from experienced
velomobile pilots; when I planned on adding a velomobile to my garage
in 2003.
I was refused entrance to both those; even though I was on IHPVA
Trikes, and was a member of several Yahoo clubs.
And of course, you know how I broke up my bent collection ('02-'03);
selling for pennies on the dollar just to move them, destroying and
giving away other bents and partss. I kept only my TerraTrike in many
boxes until Social Security was positive that I would not sell the
bents for a profit- then quietly re-assembled it.
Bents have been a frustrating and often difficult hobby for me; but the
enjoyment while the world flys by when I ride my bent makes it
worthwhile.
