My method for testing the left and right brakes are evenly balanced- Standing to the right side of the velomobile I take the tiller in my left hand , pull the brakes hard and with the right hand at the front middle of the manhole opening try hard to push the velo forward. If the brakes are not balanced one wheel will give before the other and the tail will slide left or right depending on which wheel it is.
I worked out a method for my self, (not having the benefit of this video :-), on my Quattrovelo. Putting the brake into 'park' and adjusting so that one wheel will not move, then adjusting the other by a bit, lifting the rear, and 'waggling' the back from side to side. One wheel will not move, the other will. Tighten up until the moving wheel stops, and you can no longer waggle. Then the braking is symmetrical and even. Then you can tighten to loosen each by the same amount to get the setting you want. OK if you have a handle to lift with, maybe not so easy if you do not! Seems to work.
The contribution on the front brakes adjustment is very usefull indeed, thanks a lot. Have you ever considered mounting more flashing lights? I feel a bit uneasy with only 2 flashing leds per side. Or alternatively: do you have some guidance on how to upgrade the flashing lights?
Nice that you have started making these short form service instrutions. Please continue the good work! 👍😊
Thanks, will do!

If you place in parralel 2 extra on each side you don't need to change anything
@@VelomobileWorld Cool! I am not sure what you mean though: would I end up with 16 LEDs or with 12 instead of currently 8?
Creo que es hora que rediseñeis el sistema y os paséis a los discos .

Hi Jan, a bit off topic, but the Milan GT behind has a nacaduct on front top? Is the nacaduct possible as option?
Yes is possible
Can you have translation in french please?
I am sory but the translation takes a lot of time. We translated the website already in french
