You need a cover for that rear idler. ;) I've made myself a temporary cover after the chain has shredded a jersey and a cloth bag there. ;( Hopefully the carbon cover will be available soon… And for the curiosity: was it just for the video or do you really not secure your velomobile when shopping groceries and stuff?
@@VelomobileWorld But Im talking about bicycles. Did you heard about PEBL? Did you heard about cabin motorcycle? It would be great to create something like that in bicycle version.
No padding on that seat? I know it has suspension but! In my Rotovelo I have a seat cushion and ventisit pad under the cushion. I also use a small lumbar pillow and cushion behind shoulder all go over the ventisit. The rotovelo is non suspension but the cushions literally feel like suspension. That and the 20x1.75 tires at middle pressure.
Here in Romania everybody looked to me because we also blocked the parking lot and had cameraman walking around. But Yes in general you don't lack attention from other people. In the beginning I did not like it but right now I started to like it. I see also a lot of benefits in the attention.
Te vad masinile, avand in vedere ca in Romania se circula uneori mai haotic? Mai sunt romani detinatori de velomobile? As incerca si eu unul. Se poate inchiria?
Ești în centrul atenției atunci când participi la trafic. Toată lumea te vede. langa Constanta este inca un Alpha 7 si am unul. In plus, mai este inca un Quest dar nu stiu unde in Romania. Dacă doriți să veniți și să încercați unul, contactați-ne prin intermediul site-ului web velomobileworld.com. ai vazut pretul?
Hi, all our velomobile's have a suspension. Please have a look at our webpage velomobileworld.com and if you have questions let us know on info@velomobileworld.com
@@VelomobileWorldI think Michael wanted to make joke. Because you don’t go to the doctor because you’re fit from riding the velomobile. And you don’t shake hands with car dealer because you don’t need a car 😊
I'd love to have a bike like that but, why do these idiots who make these bikes charge so much money for one of these bikes ?!! It does nothing in the way of helping people to change the way they think or to live healthier lives !!??
Well hand made and a lot of expensive materials. Beside a velomobile there are more things people can do to become healthy. Like eat less go for a walk. Have a great day!!
Cool its good to show the practical side of things 👍
thanks
Velomobile is the most ideal means of transportation in daily life
It is

I have now the cover over the idler. It is standard in production now
@@VelomobileWorld Can't wait to get mine. :)
Must be a safe country, where I live would be gone within 5 minutes
Yep, Every where is now safer than the UK and US
Have 2x35 litre panniers on my recumbent trike and put a tent ontop of the rack aswell as side pods. Wonder if it would all fit in your velomobile.
have a try!
Certainly turns heads! Did you leave it unlocked?!
Yes I let my velo always unlocked already for 20+ years
@@VelomobileWorld It's so convenient to own a velomobile factory 😆
In the future, velomobile should be 4 seats with bigger space for shopping as a better alternative to the car.
it is called electric car. A dacia spring would be a nice alternative
@@VelomobileWorld But Im talking about bicycles. Did you heard about PEBL? Did you heard about cabin motorcycle? It would be great to create something like that in bicycle version.
It would be interesting to see a video about electric assist on a Velomobile. What are the things to consider pluses and minuses.
We don't have electric assist it is hard to show something

The suspension from the Alpha 7 is very comfortabil
1:28 Everybody is looking at you/velomobile 😆 Honestly I don't like this if I had one.

Cool . I made it in future, I like it too much, good luck
thanks
do you have normal shoes, or do you have to use the shoes that attach to the pedals to ride it?
I use SPD pedals and shoes

Make a video about the history of modern velomobiles. I think it would be interesting
Agree. It's really interesting how they have converged on an elegant product.
That's a extremely good idea
@@VelomobileWorld i tought so
Cool kann mich sich so eins mal für nen Tag leihen ?? würde damit gern mal nen Video machen

Could the hood be stowed somewhere inside the vehicle?
Yes it is possible but not that easy. It fits behind the seat
Do these have suspension system?

How do you lock the bike if there is no one to film the bike?
Personally I never lock my bike. But I know from people who put a locked trough the rear-wheel and connect it to something
@@VelomobileWorld to be honest that does not feel adequate for the price of the bike. This makes it quite impractical for day to day use. :/
I'm 6' 6", will I fit ?
I think so
There is the Alpha 9 which is specifically made for tall riders, and also the M9.
Cost ? I'm in Wisconsin, USA
$ ???
@@Brian3680 Quite expensive, it's probably around $15,000 USD with shipping.
I can guess neither your local car dealer nor doctors shake hands with you anymore! You never buy their service
?? People shakes hand in Romania also now

Well.. because they are hand made with carbon fiber.
@@VelomobileWorld Yeah, but even the one made from a garbage bin in Australia costs over 6.5K.
