The AeroVelo team just more than doubled that in their bullet-shaped “speedbike”, reaching a speed of 85.71 miles per hour and breaking the world record for fastest human-powered vehicle at the same time. Once the five-mile buffer ends, World Human Powered Speed Challenge timers clock each participant over a 200-meter portion of road, which was hand picked prior to the event due to its flatness.

Now, they have made an appearance at the yearly World Human Powered Speed Challenge with their new AeroVelo Eta bike, that further shattered records and placed them better on the map of innovative engineering and ingenuity.

The video below shows team AeroVelo’s attempt at the 2014 challenge. However, while their vehicle did not reach its fullest alleged potential, it still passed over the previous record and the team snagged another award.

In its 16th year, the competition is pitting speed bikes from around the world in multiple time trials this year.

The previous record for the fastest human-powered bike was set by Dutch cyclist, Sebastian Bowier in 2013. It has even ventured into aviation, developing what it describes as the first working human-powered ornithopter and also winning the Sikorsky Prize in 2013 with its Atlas human-powered helicopter. AeroVelo’s record was set on the fourth day of the six-day contest. Reichert achieved a speed of 85.71mph (137.9km/h) in a recumbent bike named Eta at the 2015 World Human-Powered Speed Championships at Battle Mountain in Nevada in the United States.

Dubbed Eta – a Greek reference to efficiency as it relates to engineering – AeroVelo’s main focus was to build a completely aerodynamic shell around the bike and its rider. Using a camera mounted to the top of the vehicle and a video monitor to see ahead, Eta was expected to offer around a one percent improvement on performance compared to its predecessor, according to the team’s computer simulations.
