OVERALL DESIGN DECISION

During our work on our specific parts we realize that there is an outstanding decision about the overall design, which hold us back from ordering parts and getting hard data for the bike. Both versions had their pros and cons.
V1:

V2:

After a discussion in the group we chose Variant 1. As a consequence we have the following hard points for our bike:
  • one sided fork in the front and the back.
  • 20"wheel
  • intermediate hub
  • foldable handlebars as part of the locking system
  • collapsible saddle
  • integrated lighting in the frame
  • a body out of carbon fibre

    Now will the chain be self contained within the carbon fibre body? That would be a good thing to the pant wearer/ biker who doesn't want to worry about the chain staining his pants.
