Hello All,
How many Watts to get to 93 mph?
For more speed on your bike you need to shape shift to look like this:
https://www.bikebiz.com/...-break-through-90mph
The current world record for a human powered vehicle, or HPV, is a touch over 89mph. The 75-year-old Burrows believes he will be able to pedal his machine on the flats of Battle Mountain in Nevada to 93mph. (The speed is measured over a 200-metre stretch of a five-mile course.)
State Route 305 outside of town is the annual venue for the World Human Powered Speed Challenge, and this year's event will be the nineteenth. At the first event in 2000, Briton Sam Whittingham reached 72.74mph. In 2016, Canadian aerospace engineer Todd Reichert of Team Aerovelo achieved the current speed record of 89.59mph, tantalisingly close to the magic 90mph.
This year's World Human Powered Speed Challenge will be held in Battle Mountain between September 10th and 15th.
Burrows has been designing bikes and HPVs since the 1980s. His rise to prominence came when Chris Boardman rode the Burrows-designed Lotus Superbike to win Olympic gold on the Barcelona track in 1992, the pivotal event which was the springboard for the current British success in cycle sport.
Burrows' latest machine has been designed in association with aerodynamicist Glen Thompson of London South Bank University.
