I was recommended this video, but I have no idea of velomobiles. What's the typical average speed, casual riding and some high efforts would be nice to know. Also, this looks like an art! Is it more than 10K euros?
@@SonnyDarvish as with road bikes, much depends on the rider. A strong rider will benefit more from the advantages a velomobile offers. Typically, a velomobile will be significantly faster on flat terrain but slower on the climbs. My cruising speed on flat ground is around 45 km/h, high effort is about 60 km/h. Strong people can go as fast as 80-90 km/h on the flats. Prices for new performance machines nowadays are in the 10-12k € range.
@@rhein228 Thank you for the info. Impressive numbers. Enjoy your rides! I might consider a velomobile after a couple of years, maybe an electric one that also could help with the climbs..
@@SonnyDarvish when you do you may regret to not having taken the steps earlier. I sure do. Regarding climbs, I wouldn’t worry. You will develop the zen of climbing when you ride a velomobile. Once you got that, mountains won’t be stopping you.
Wenn der Sitz hinten/oben an festen Bolzen aufgehängt ist, wie kann das mit der unteren Sitzverstellung funktionieren? Bei einer Fahrt mit dem M9 schienen meine Schulterblätter links und rechts am schmalen Sitz vorbei quetschen zu wollen. Das war nach einer Stunde nicht mehr wirklich bequem. Hast Du damit keine Probleme? Danke für die Antwort.
Die untere Sitzhalterung wird abhängig von der Position der Löcher für die oberen Bolzen festgelegt, ist dann nicht mehr variabel -- d.h. der Ditz passt nur in eine der Vertiefungen. Mit einem zweiten Lochpaar könnte man die Sitzneigung ändern und dann eine andere Position auf den unteren Leisten wählen, doch warum sollte man das tun wenn man die passende Position für den Fahrer bereits ermittelt hat? Schulterblätter: Ja, die liegen links und rechts des schmalen Endes, liegen sie auf oder stoßen an, ist der Sitz nicht bequem. Aus meiner Sicht funktioniert dieser Sitz nur mit Panzerlenkung. Ich fahre mit der dünnen Ventisit-Matte auch viele KM völlig schmerzfrei.
@@arno-s7060 the tube is widened at the end and pushed through the rear idler housing before both are placed in the M9. At least, this is the way I think it is done. So in theory, the tube can’t slide forward. Apparently, a chain that has come off the idler could then grab the tube end and rip it out under the forward movement of the power side chain under load.
@@enricio it is a clip on rear light with built-in radar to detect vehicles coming up from behind. Sound alert and visual display of number and distance of cars approaching on my Garmin gps.
@@rhein228 Okay. I didn't know such device existed. In front of you you have a Garmin GPS instead of a cellphone with Google maps? Does the Garmin device communicate with your smart watch? 🤔
@@enricio in front I use a Garmin Edge 1040. unlike the smartphone it can be used in heavy rain, had a much longer runtime and navigates offline - but it communicates with my phone, alerting me to incoming calls and displays caller’s number.
Damn these machines are beautiful... Not just their lines, but the level of refinement of the details.
You're a talented filmmaker. ✨👌😇

du musst mal alle wartungsöffnungen mit nitto tape oder ähnliches abkleben besonders hinten, das frisst nochmal 16watt
I had the same issue with the chain tube, the problem is caused by the missing velcro to fix the tube from sliding.

Do you have more room for your knees and your feet than in a DF XL or is it more or less the same?
@@edwardheussen8507 feet is about the same, there’s more room for my knees, but most of all the M9 is much roomier from the hips up to my shoulders
What's the Garmin radar you are talking about? I'm not familiar. 🤔

@@rhein228 Thank you for quick responding. lf your cellphone was properly rain protected you would not need the Garmin GPS?
@@enricio I would still prefer the Garmin gps for offline navigation and runtime
