Pontoon Bike
Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2004 10:25 pm
I was looking at the pontoon boat you guys were discussing and it reminded me of a boat I was dreaming about in my head a couple of years ago.
I was trying to figure out how to put a bicycle on a small pontoon boat. I had seen something like this some where in the foggy past. It had two narrow pontoons and a bike frame mounted to the cross frames. It had a drive system to a propeller and I think it went pretty fast.
I think two small canoe shaped hulls could build out of plywood with wood cross braces add some rudders on each hull then get to the tricky part how to get a bicycle hooked to prop for power.
I was thinking of two 12' long water tight hulls enough to keep about 400lb afloat and enough beam to keep from tipping over.
Good luck with the new site.
