Concentrate...Feel the Force Flow. Follow along as we build our new sculpture for the Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race. Come find out what's an Aluminum Falcon.

Unlike a regular bike, rear cassettes on the #AluminumFalcon must turn the shafts they ride on. I'm using 3D printers to design and prototype new brackets 🤓

To go back to 20" wheels on v3 #AluminumFalcon, we have to be able to raise the front end. This is how we'll do it. 😈

The 26" front wheels made the v2 #AluminumFalcon feel more like a wagon than a dragster. We had to use them to make room for the flotation and stay above the mud at #LKSR.

We previously tried using seats and raised pedals on the #AluminumFalcon. This year, we're replacing them with bike frames for easier mounting, simpler steering, and more power.

I've been working on upgrades for the #AluminumFalcon all winter, but build season is officially open for the #LowellKineticSculptureRace!

Read about how we did in 2024.
