How fast can I go? Downhill with Velomobil DF XL - Andechs Monastery to Fischen at the Ammersee

[@cooldavis78]

a nice ride. The setup and the overlays achieve a professional video. the fact that there is no music underscores this. really good

[@devasfpv2232]

Thanks mate! I appreciate your opinion very much! Trying to get better with each video

[@Coookies24_]

Sehr angenehm mal ein Velomobil auf bekannten Straßen zu sehen, und hätte nicht gedacht dass ein VM auch auf der Ebene zwischen Fischen und Dießen derart schnell wird. Danke dir! :)

[@devasfpv2232]

Vielen Dank für Deinen Kommentar! Ja ich liebe die Gegend um den Ammersee. Und zwischen Fischen und Dießen ist Velomobiles-Traumland! Der Aspahlt ist dort so gut da fliegt es geradezu 😀

Na so ganz "eben" wars nicht...

[@virgilkelley6235]

I had to watch it two times I seen 96 flash up twice man that is insane fast lol I love it you have some really big balls to do something like that great job

[@devasfpv2232]

Thank you so much. Your commend made me smile and a bit proud of myself... but to be honest my balls where pretty small at that point as I was afraid of breaking 🤣🙈 but don't tell anyone 😜

[@PickleDroner]

Nice run. I too think the overlays are a nice touch and kind of wonder how you did them (are they gopro or Osmo Action options?). Perhaps a camera overview of the vehicle first so we know what we are watching (I only knew what the vehicle looked like later after watching another of your videos) and perhaps a chase vehicle with a chase FPV drone perspective. looks like the run was ~5-6 mins. The dji FPV which is perfect for chase shots up to 65MPH (~100 kmh) have a battery life for real world 15-25 mins... Just suggestions thanks. (HA HA sorry. I totally made this comment without realizing your are an fpv pilot. *forehead slap*)

[@devasfpv2232]

Thanks for your comment. You're right the view of what vehicle you're about to see wasn't anywhere near my thoughts (well because I know which vehicle I'm in and totally forgot about it. I'll try to change that... I'm not a KZbin expert - yet - so I'm not sure I can change that in the vid. I'll do it on the Thumbnail for sure) I like your FPV thought and was thinking about it too. But I have no other pilot who could do the job 🙈. If you're here in Germany I would be thankful if you could do that. Would even come like 100 km around Munich to get that done 😁

[@PickleDroner]

@@devasfpv2232 I wish I could help, but I'm in Arizona in the US. I'll subscribe to see if you find another pilot in future videos.

[@devasfpv2232]

Vielen Dank! Ja es war eine tolle Abfahrt und dann aus dem Wald zu kommen und diesen Blick auf den See zu haben! Echt traumhaft

[@Mustang7120]

94 kmh? That's pretty quick! I've had a normal bicycle up to about 75 kmh. Steep downhill with lots of pedaling. It was a crappy mountain bike too! I've also done close to 90 kmh on an Escooter. Those hit different. Being in a standing position at high speeds is way different from bikes!

[@devasfpv2232]

Just a quick question. How did you reduce the drag of your balls so you could reach 90kmh on an escooter? 😅😂 Seriously that would have killed me 🙈 respect

[@Mustang7120]

@devasfpv2232 A lot of times, they will tend to make themselves more aerodynamic (some orifices may or may not shrink to more aerodynamic proportions also.) If you leave them hang, you can use them as an anchor for emergency stops, but I don't recommend. 🎱⚓️🎱 This ride is an 11-minute car ride on Google maps.. speed limits range from 25 to 45 mph (40 to 72 kmh.)🛴⤵️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZTHZnScl7dgmK8&feature=share7 I usually post a 360 and flat screen version of some of my rides each week.

[@calvingarrett3245]

Damn over 100 mph that's pretty good. I would sure hate to be crossing the street and get hit by that thing it could do some damage LOL.

[@devasfpv2232]

Well it was around 100kph. I think at around 100mph that thing would disintegrate 😅 But I'm sure even with that speed hitting something or someone would do some utterly disgusting damage too 🙈

[@seppoinnanen5577]

Ouch.... my tops with my Dfxl is 82km/h.. and I thought it was more than enough 😅 You look like a jet flying low

[@devasfpv2232]

Well I was full of adrenaline. That fighter jet comparison is probably because my heart making a wierd sound as it dropped 🤣😅

[@Erdie65]

It looks like a very good VM road. BTW My top speed with my DFXL is 106 km/h abut I will never repeat this at that particular road. IMHO the brakes are not good enough for this amout of speed.

[@devasfpv2232]

The road was just perfect so no worries about the speed. But you're right the breaks are not made for excessive speed. I once did 110 km/h but wasn't brave enough to even break. I had a wide runoff area so it was OK but I'm not keen on going so fast again. 90 km/h is just OK 🙂😀

[@Thezuule1]

Those other cyclists on the road must have had their minds blown.

[@devasfpv2232]

They really did. Well you don't often see a torpedo with a guy sitting inside and shooting downhill 🤣😅

[@DigitalvideotoolsOrg]

What is the stopping distance in this vehicle going from 80km/hr to 0 km/hr?

[@devasfpv2232]

I can only guess because I never measured it. I'd say around 30 - 35 meters. My normal speeds are more around 50km/h and there I do a stop in under 20 meters.

[@DigitalvideotoolsOrg]

@@devasfpv2232 wow that's a lot

[@devasfpv2232]

@@DigitalvideotoolsOrg I think it's a bit more than an average car and more like a racing bike. You have to drive foresighted. 😊

[@DigitalvideotoolsOrg]

@@devasfpv2232 I guess so. If I were to drive it and had to stop quickly I don't think the locked brakes & those narrow tyres could stop my 80kg body (plus weight of velomobile) anytime soon

[@devasfpv2232]

I have a system weight of around 135kg so your stopping distance should even be better than mine (you're lighter than me). As I daily commute with the velomobile I never had to do an emergency breaking cause I'm well aware of the traffic around me and trying to ride as defensive as possible. Think that's the key factor.

i went 97.9 km / h on the upright bike once

Wow 😳! Respect! How steep was that hill? The fastest I achieved with my Racing hood on were 107km/h but 97.9 km/h on an upright bike is insanely fast 😅🚀

[@markifi]

@@devasfpv2232 it was Geschriebenstein Austria, i'd say a standard mountain pass road maybe 7-8% at places (?), but i was wearing a one piece suit that's supposed to be quite aero, and it was 36-38 ˚C that day. good combination for max speed i'd say :). i didn't go for max speed intentionally, and it didn't even feel exceptionally fast, more serene if anything. only at home i checked the gps and i was amazed by the number also.

[@devasfpv2232]

@@markifi is there a video of your descent? Must be a great view! Going downhill with an up at that speed. Not sure if I'd have the courage for! But I wonder how you could overcome the massive aerodynamic disadvantage of your enormous balls 😅🤣😜

Na bergab sind 95 kein Ding. Die 88km/h in der Ebene(!) von Sven sind immer noch nicht überboten.

Abhängig von der Lenkgeometrie, schon! Wenn das VM zickig ist dann sind schon 70km/h kritisch...!

[@Barncatfish]

Nice machine. They're horribly slow climbers though, need electric assist for that... You'd easily break 80mph on a real downhill, but your Euro roads are very narrow, so not particularly safe.

[@devasfpv2232]

Thanks! Yeah it is a very nice and beautiful machine - but you're right, I hate going uphill with it. It's like dragging an anchor uphill. I once did 62 mph downhill .. well that was way out of my comfort zone 😅😂
