Velomobile NL-Spezi 2024 Booth Interview

[@Pushyhog]

wow, beautiful light velo. The QV is incredible too.

[@anim8ted923]

Based on the grin on Gary's face, I think that one-arm lift was pre-planned. 😉

[@Lufftschwimmer]

I sit in the Snoek L and I think it is a special Velomobile for riding in the flat....

[@bui340]

Dutch people are really tall so no wonder this new bigger snoek sells well

[@jeffrey5961]

super light.

[@mnveloguy]

All the models from Velomobile World are that weight. Soem are even lighter. The W9 I had was 22kg. The Bülk is 24-25kg. The only heavier models are the new 4More at 29kg and the QV which is well over 30kg.

[@driewiel]

24 kilo is amazing. Of course that's without the basket.

[@mnveloguy]

Most models are 24kg. The Alphas are often 22-23kg. The Bülk is 24kg as well. If it’s produced at Velomobile World, it’s going to be 23-25kg. They know how to build light and stiff. Even the fiberglass 4More is 29kg.

[@mnveloguy]

I’m amused that Theo thinks that weight is something special. All the Velomobile World produced Models are in that range. The Bülk is also 24kg. Even the fiberglass 4More is only 29kg, and that’s a budget model.

[@anim8ted923]

I think 24 kg and 2m (6'-6") rider capability is pretty impressive. The Bülk looks impressive too. It's nice to have choices.

[@mnveloguy]

@@anim8ted923 yes. The Snoek L and A9.2 both are that weight and fit 2m riders. I have 1.96m clients that could squeeze into the Bülk, but not 2m. Some really great options on the market now.

[@DarkLord666-f1w]

the thing with weight is that can be advantage or disadvantage depending on the circumstances it accelrates faster but also decelerate quicker so you need more force to keep up it wont roll that far like a heavier vehicle, but will also brake longer. going downhill will make you faster the more you weight. you can try it by going to groceries or adding extra weight going downhill and see how far you roll compared to going empty. uphill you loose lots of energy being heavy...however you could use momentum and build up speed before going uphill. most important is aerodynamic drag and snoek l haz the smallest frontal area 130 watts at 31mph df xl 140 watts bulk 150 watts.
