Coker Max. Speed

i think i saw a pic of a guy with a bike computer that had a top speed
reading of like 38 kph on it i think?

i think fastest ever was 40-something.

THINK.

I believe roger can hold around 20mph (32kph) for some considerable
time.

Personally my max is 26 kph, but i'm inexperienced and use 150mm
cranks.

If I'm really energetic i can clock 41km/h on my coker. But if it's an
ordinary day, then 25-30 would be my highest. 😄

At the bottom of this page are five links to threads which discuss Coker
speed, maximum, burst, distance, endurance, you name it. Using the
search function should give you some info also. Christian Hoverath was
considered to have ridden a Coker faster than anyone for some time. It
was witnessed but not well documented. You will read incredible and
differing numbers with respect to Christian's downhill burst several
years ago. Dustin Schaap may have the fastest recorded top speed on a
Coker now. Ken Looi holds some of the time/endurance records. Search
around for it, you'll have fun and learn the search function at the
same time.

They are so worth it. I got my coker after i finished high school
though 🙁 which i later modified 😄 😄 . So it's all good. 🙂 🙂

They're not really hard but aren't suitable for beginners. As you can
see here from the link below. But that never stopped me from getting
one :p :p . Some of the modifications i have done to my coker is put
handles and put magnesium pedals. Which is a must for me cause I'm such
a fast rider 😄 😄

The wire stands really aren't good, my friend has them for all his unis
and they're very easy to knock over, require a bit of bending to work
with bigger wheels and I highly doubt they will support a coker unless
you get it balanced just perfectly, which defeats the point of a stand.
Hanging them from the ceiling by hooks is far preferable if possible.

Thanks for the heads up buddy. I'll keep that in mind. 😄 😄 😄

I think a number of confident riders can hit 37kph (23mph) or so when
the mood/wind/hill takes them right. It feels pretty hairy though.

I've -once- hit 43kph (26.7mph) - probably due to having got a 'max
speed' on my speedo of 24.8mph earlier that day, and seeing how far it
might go... and a momentary lapse in self-preservation!

Dustin Shaap has a photo of his speedo after a Unicon race reading
39.9kph max. And Christian Hooverath of course has the ledgendary
29mph - I think measured by a following car's speedo.

For me, a high top speed is always reached by having a good long smooth
downhill road, not too steep and with plenty of visibility - preferably
with some bikes to attempt to keep up with. Then relax and let the
brake take the strain, and try not to think about how fast your feet
are moving. 🙂

I ride my coker where there are obstacles (street poles, workers cones,
cracked pavement, outside parking lots with parked cars :p) at a slow
pace then turn around and build up speed each time i turn around. It's
cool and sometimes dangerous, but hey that's me. The looks of bike
riders watching me increasing speeds while riding through obstacles
scares them. My coker hasn't suffered any damage and with the magnesium
pedals i have now. Reaching speeds in excess of 30km/h is so much
easier. Especially when riding slight uphills. Imagine the speeds i get
when i ride downhill. 😄 😄
