Discwheels mounted

This is the first view of the discwheels on the kitebuggy.
The wheel is based on a two layered 100 mm wide rim made of alluminium with anodized treatment.
The hub is a MG production made of stainless steel.
Also the spokes are stainless steel and 3 mm thick.
We have chosen for crossed mounting because this is compared to a straith mounting better.
The forces are divided overĀ the X and Y component and therefore the internal forceĀ of the spoke is less.
Coming weeks we will test the wheels on several substrates.
We want to optimize the wheels for a perfect quality.
We think there is always some space for improvement.
