The production quality is raw, but the content is an interesting glimpse into another world of transportation of more comfortable and functional bikes. Worth a look!

3:17 ... that smile says everything, it *must've* been a fun to ride the Leiba

@KeeperofTheMountain :-( good luck with that new ride. Haven ridden so many miles, must be very hard to be unable to ride at all... Cheers, Bruno

Yup. :-) I wanted to try out a go-one or the beautiful Trice that was there, but they weren't available to try. I wish I could go to Cyclevision to ask for a ride from someone there. :-) Cheers!

@yuri60014 If you don't ride regularly,and don't have an active lifestyle,that is normal.I had a while in which I wasn't very active and when I restarted to use a bicycle more regularly, I'd get exhausted too.Try to maintain a more regular riding schedule,with shorter trips,so you can build your strength gradually.This of course, if you want to use the bike more often.It is a good way to have some exercise in our daily routines without having to take specific time for it. Cheers!

@HariVIyer 3 - It isn't too wide, but it may be too wide for some bike lanes. It depends on the country, and in some countries, tricycles are not permitted in the bike lanes, so YMMV. 4 - I assume so, but it probably depends on the brand and model. You can probably adapt it to have a lock in the cockpit. Some models are built to order, and you can probably ask for suck customization. Cheers!

Ahahaha! :-D It does, indeed! I like the looks of the Go-One and the Borealis which were both shown at SPEZI too. Too bad I didn't have the chance to try them out. Maybe I'll go to Cyclevision someday to try all I can! ;-)

@royalwww indeed, the SPEZI show is a show to visit if you're looking for something out of the ordinary.

I'm sure if one were so inclined they could construct something along a similar design that also utilized an electric motor assist. Maybe it could be one part petal powered alternator with a companion solar roof panel for extra battery charge while it's parked.

@HariVIyer 1 - From my very very short experience with the Leiba it (but with a daily usage of a cargo bike), you can accelerate fast if you have it on an adequate gear. Of course it isn't the same as a light bike, and it depends if you're starting in a flat or hilly region. 2 - Didn't have the chance to try it out in a hilly area. I assume it will climb more slowly than a regular bicycle, it's heavier, and it has 3 smaller wheels.

:-D I can say there wasn't anything I tried that wasn't fun to ride! ehehe I wish I've been there this year too... *snif* The new Go One Evolution looked interesting, still compact and with better aerodinamics. Cheers! :-)

@jonnyasprin That's a common issue with this kind of vehicle, indeed. Some designs account for adequate wind circulation. You'd better talk anyone riding one in such conditions to know if it is possible in a comfortable way. Cheers

@btsantos Too many injuries. If I ride more than a mile or hit any bumps then I am laid up for a time. I am going full suspention and a small motor. I will then see if I can do that at least. I have riden thousands of miles and now I am broken.

@PHOTOGRASPER do you know how to ride a bike? When was the last time you rode one? Anyone who rides a bike for transport doesn't usually get exhausted. Most velomobiles do account for wind circulation to reduce the chances of overheating. Velomobiles don't use regular saddles, which can only get you sterile if you ride some designs for very long periods of time, like professional cyclists do, and regular cyclists don't. Your misconceptions blur your discourse.

what a great idea! Instead of merely getting exhausted, you can strap yourself into a wind-proof egg! So you can be overheated too! Having greentards ride around in eggs that make them sterile and dizzy, should solve at least one major problem we have.
