This is a recently finished bike project made by myself. I have a history of making unusal bikes and cars, this is this years project, and now I offer it for sale to anyone who is into interesting, unusual stuff like this
The idea behind the project was this: Make a 4 person pedal powered car, except instead of starting from scratch, fit all the cycling mechanicals into an existing car normal car, keeping elements of the original car such as the lights, electric windows, horn, doors, mirrors, etc. The car chosen was a Vauxhall Corsa, as they are small, light, and with the upright boot lid you have more space for the rear riders. The final thing to do that seemed obvious to me was to paint it bright green. This was a long project that took a long time and evolved constantly throughout the process. I was originally thinking of using BMX wheels and brakes with MTB suspension, but the reality of that was they would not be strong enough. Instead the running gear for this bike is made from moped and motorcycle parts. I will detail all parts of the car below
So that's about it. As a side note yes I did make a crack on the bottom right of the windscreen I am really really sorry, but it's too small for me to fix, Corsa parts are cheap if you want to fix it. The BikeCar is currently being stored in a barn in Henfield, I can arrange viewings (serious viewings only) and I can trailer it to anywhere within reasonable distance for you.
