Ugh!. The vehicles look good, and I want to know more. Unfortunately, the script is filled with witty comments instead of useful information. Try the same video, but include details such as range, amp-hours, weight capacity, length, width, height. It would be good to know if the battery is removable, and how to charge it.

Unfortunately, it also collected a bunch of brands that have already shut down long before they made the video. I think the Veemo and the Hopper might be the only ones likely to actually be available. Apparently, these channels just scrape the content and data, but don't actually research whether the company still exists.

Same. It's constant disappointment when these channels just cobble together stock footage of a bunch of velomobiles, knowingly padding it out with ones where the company has already disappeared. It's really dishonest. As far as I can tell, Frikar and Veemo are the only ones you MIGHT be able to see IRL...someday. They haven't disappeared yet.

It all comes down to if you can get support, help with maintenance and spare parts for a long time after you buy one. I still hope velombiles can take over the world one day. There are lots of it already, but it would be awesome if there would be as many as cars. They just look cooler and are awesome to drive in my opinion 😊

I have an ebike with a Veltop upright bike attachment that I further modified and it is very similar to this. I later added a lower lexan front shield so that my legs,shoes and waist wouldn't get wet and it works great even in heavy rainstorms without me the rider getting wet at all during rides. Veltop (the company from France) has inexpensive attachments for both upright bikes,recumbent bikes and recumbent trikes too .

It is coming back after being shut down for several years. They just got a $3 million loan for the business.
It's funny because the solutions are reminiscent of the earliest vintage cars and bicycles. But I'm not chuckling too hard because at the moment I see electric bicycles and velomobiles etc as much more viable alternatives to motorcycles and petrol cars than are the electric cars currently available in Europe and the US. If we can't have a good range and speed at an affordable price it's better (for many of us) to have electric assisted pedal power for local trips, as a second car for instance, and wipe out most of the running costs of a huge petrol or electric monster. In some cases we could rent the real car on a day by day basis, or participate in a carshare. There are even a few electric velomobiles which are incredibly cheap. Considering that some models are quite long, this gives me hope that musicians and sportspersons will be able to carry their gear in velomobiles eventually, but more thought has to be put into this because gear is not always cube shaped. Stage pianos? Double basses? Surfboards? Designers, please try to accommodate our gear!

Having moved to a village with tiny zigzag streets which ascend steeply, two new priorities are on my mind: hill ascencion in an elec assist velomobile, and turning radius. Can we have some data?

I have since learned that the manufacturer claims that its Bio-Hybrid will ascend at least a 15% hill, but I have also learned that the manufacturer (Schaeffler?) is struggling to survive. Hope the situation has improved.

Fibreglass takes time to cure, and can be flimsy, so it needs supports. So these things make them more expensive. Carbon fibre is stronger and lighter, but a lot more expensive. But think about it… ONE cost, and about $100 per year for maintenance. Then you have it forever. If you sell down the road, they often sell for 75% of the initial sale cost.
