Variation number 8: a rear fairing on the Flevo-bike.
To be able to increase the speed a little more, or to deminish energy waste,
I have built a new rear part with a slightly more recumbent position
and a slightly longer wheel-base.
A rear-fairing, made by the german HP Velotechnik
was mounted on it, and as a seat I took a seat of the Flevobike fifty-fifty (nowadays Sinner fifty-fifty),
because that one was designed for the somewhat more recumbent position.
I noticed that a standard FlevoBike seat gives too little support to the back-neck area in this posture.
The rear part, too, is now sprung with a spring/damper combination. It can just be seen at the bottom of the fairing.
The riding comfort is again much better than the former situation with a rubber spring.
Because of the weight of the rear part, it is necessary to use a standard on both parts.
