[trikes] DELTA VS TADPOLE for speed

[Garry Buck]

I have a Greenspeed GT3 (tadpole) and a Hase Kettwiesel (delta). The GT3 is slightly faster downhill because it has a more reclined seat, hence better aerodynamics. The Kettwiesel is slightly faster uphill because it has a more upright seat, hence better use of muscles. Overall, it's not enough to make any difference. 

If you want to go fast, get a strong motor. A fast rider on a slow bike will beat a slow rider on a fast bike every time.
