After missing out on last year’s title, a University of Plymouth team, led by Adam Kyte, a lecturer in Mechanical and Marine Engineering Design, are coming back fighting ahead of the 2016 World Human Powered Speed Challenge.
This unique and physically demanding cycling event will be taking place in September in Battle Mountain, Nevada (pictured), and after a year of fine-tuning, the Plymouth team believe they have a bike that’s capable of victory in both the male and female categories.
Take a look inside Beluga, the University of Plymouth's ingenious arm-powered handcycle for people with limited use of their legs, and discover the result of acute precision engineering, months of deliberation and many hours of testing.
