Highly modified wheelie bin - THE BINSLEIGH

Recommended Posts

This is my second project, it's a highly modified wheelie bin that we started to build when we were at school, it then steadily evolved to what you see today:

Spec:

9.81 mid mounted Isaac Newton engine

Kids bike front wheels with bb's

mountain bike rear wheels with bb's

Digital speedo

Very crude adjustable ride height suspension

seat

Top speed is currently 29.8mph but we have a top secret 'nos' plan in the pipeline to push us over the 30 barrier.

 

check out the myspace too for videos and construction pics.

:lol: :lol:

 

I did A-level maths at college and i know that 9.81 has special relevance....is it the force of gravity in nm on the earth or somethin like that (Its been a few years since i left college and this will rack my brains) lol

We need some competition to race against. So we've been trying to spread the word some more - see if we can get some rival teams. My mates next door neighbour built a kart last summer though, it was basically two bikes cut and shut to make a kind of trike but it was no match for the mighty binsleigh.
