Looking for a (free to ply with) AI tool.

What I want to be able to do, more or less, is upload a picture (say of a scooter, bike, trike, ect) then have the tool design a body shell around that frame.

Then be able to tweak things if I need to.

That EV thread got the grey cells turning on some possibilities, but my usual carboard/broom-handle/duct-tape mock-up method wont work for this.

For aerodynamics?

What you want is a parabola in front and a taper in the back.

Look up three machines from the 1950's and '60's.

1) the Guzzi V8
2) the Honda RC166
3) the Porsche 908 LH


Keith Campbell


Mike Hailwood


I took this picture 54 years ago.

They are all worth reading about, even if you don't end up using the ideas.

The dustbin and the longtail had problems at very high speeds, but the Honda was unstoppable, as usual.

Nope....for this

https://nerdist.com/article...e-car-drives-70-mph/

Gotta figure out how to do that on a 3-wheel shoprider. Found one for $250, guy is going to drop it off next week sometime when he gets up this way. For tat price if I screw it up I can still get the $ back parting it out.

I'm thinking PVC or EMT frame with a dacron skin like velomobiles.

Damn you guys and your EV threads !!!! I still got a month or 2 before the trike is done !

Dangerous electric motoring, without signal lights, effective brakes, inherently unstable cg.
Fatal accident soon, not necessarily seen by two ton automobile resulting in crushing injury.
Sure, inadvertently sideswiped by large vehicle changing lanes without signalling.
Tumbling sideways, a lateral roll into trees lining roadway at 50mph, the meat in the sandwich of an electric motor vehicle and a maple tree.
Blows stop sign, tee boned by a bus, roadkill served on still whirling contraption.

Looks like too much fun.
A few suggestions, to avoid being cancelled or hospitalized.
1) Lower battery to ground clearance.
2) Lower motor and gearbox to ground clearance.
3) Widen track, lengthen wheelbase.
4) Install disk brakes on front spindles.
5) Modify suspension to allow shifting and leaning into curves.
6) Giant flashing lights for visibility, to avoid being rear ended into back of truck bed.

Look, See, Live.
Other than that, go for it !

MG EX181, ultimately, an achievement in hydrodynamics.

Fiberglass Mold from a Plug
Foil barrier for polyester resin.
Epoxy fiberglass supply.
As an example, possibilities.
Smoothly through the air, lightly.
Tony Foale

You may notice the similarity of the MG's nose to that of the Fiero's later aero nose.
That is because the shape is ' true '.

The funny thing man...on one of those in Ontario, so long as it is a "medical assistive device" (or started life as one), you are legally considered a pedestrian....a 100kph, Barstool-racer, lets-go, street-legal--------pedestrian.

Pedestrians cant get speeding tickets.

This is one of those few times in life I would like to thank the docs for the x-rays, CT scans, tests, and paperwork.

An attempt to make motoring survivable, has integral roll bars, as does the Fiero.

A modern take on the egg mobile.
awd, all weather, propane heating in winter.
Survivable in crashes.
Make one for yourself, make ten to pay for it.
All Good.
