I've been designing and building electric vehicles for 20 years. The ElectroVelo, my thumbnail image Was completed in 2011 and I still use it to this day. I have a range of 260 km pure electric, more if I pedal. The number one thing to consider when designing an electrical vehicle for the road is the law. In most places in North America 4 wheels is not allowed unless it's a mobility scooter. There must be pedals and that must be speed restricted. As for financing for production that's difficult. Most people in North America still consider anything that doesn't have a large energy footprint to be a toy. For those who want or need such transportation it's often beyond their ability to afford. Government programs are trash and in my opinion are for those builders, producing inferior products. All the best to the young woman trying to make a difference. My advice is design a really good vehicle for yourself that is easy to repair and upgrade. Use it all the time and provide a positive example for others. We are fully entrenched in car culture and that's not going to change anytime soon.

Quadvelo😮 BELLISSIMA ❤ BELLISSIMA ❤ BELLISSIMA SUPER FOOOOOORTE. Io vivo in bicicletta e......ne vorrei una! Questa,tra pioggia e gelo, risolverebbe tanti problemi della mia vita....e ho tanti problemi!!!!! BRAVISSIMI👏👏🥇👍👏👏🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

looks like a great solution

Need trunnion mounts, a lot more short travel xc shock options if they move to trunnion mounting, anyone who still want to use eyelets can get an adapter.

Sadly Dave of ar-3 has shutdown his business very shortly after this review... I have no way of contacting him about the ar-3... 😢 And I tried for a year...I can't get any information about why except retirement...

I loved the Trident Trikes Odyssey. Perhaps someday I'll actually be able to purchase one. It would have been nice to see the process of folding and unfolding the Odyssey. Best wishes. David D. 🖖

For cyclists, for inclement weather, this is nice. If you are targeting 25mph, you will never get car drivers to adopt this mode of transportation. Even with my smart fortwo or even the much bigger Fiat 500, so many people look at me like I have a death wish, and will never get into the car with me.

Never mind, you’ve just gone inefficient regenerative breaking is to save where and tear on your mechanical brakes. The electricity you save is just a tiny bonus.

Fantastic initiative from a very smart girl. Hope she can bring successfully forward this very interesting project!

Has the Laidback Bike Report reached out to the Pebl2.0 people at Better Bike to see where they are in their quest to produce an American solution to micromobility?

I think Amara is the only velomobile type maker that has done any wind tunnel work.

I-Cycle Electric Bike Company has been following Elecy for more than a year now and we think that this is a terrific project that could really move velomobiles out of the sport enthusiast niche and into the mainstream, which would be a big boost for more mainstream velomobile acceptance. Keep pushing and we wish Tamara the best of luck and good fortune.

I hope Tamara knows about Katanga's Velion and the Podbike. Given this is such a small market space I'd hope those who are working here could help one another.

Excelente projeto! Garota genial e ótimo entrevistador! Também estou quebrando a cabeça aqui no Brasil, desenvolvendo o Harpia e um quadriciclo!

What is that expanding mesh called? I really want to learn more about it but having trouble finding examples. It's very interesting

I have one of these and they're awesome!

Et le vm45 de Katanga : pas intéressant ?

Varitrike: Your quickest, fastest ride.

Recycled pallet wood peeled ply to built wood composites for bikes without toxic chemicals or adhesives, and hemp spokes and you can dump all that metal garbage monetised in that horror fair, also wooden frame on fabric velomobiles with fine hemp fabric, weighing 15% less than toxic nanoplastic carbon fiber shells

I'm curious what kind of efficiency Katanga gets out of their chainless Pony4 (1:17:45)

1:29:38 : I think Einstein is really interested in the quad velo.

Always good to hear about my favorite velomobile maker! 😃

Excellent 😊😊

thanks Gary.

Laidback bike report, the best channel about modern bicycles in the world!

Nice Interview ! When he new Bülk is wrapped with a folie, I ask my self it is not possible to wrap a Velomobile Ur-Form , or to wrap a Wheel-Box-Model....instead to ...... the form and with less drag on the form...

They are way behind on orders and keep up with demand ! Why dont they offer part assembled or kit form 🤔

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

This should just be registered as l6e and then it would be fine. It doesn't even have a chain, that's why it's limited to 250w contrary to actual ebikes that are actually hybrid and can have human power plus 250w. And as far as I know the regulations for EU existed before they designed this colossal machine. I mean, I'm all for increasing the wattage somewhat and increasing top speed somewhat too, but designing something heavily and with a lack of power right from the start and expect the EU to change their laws just to make this "concept" viable while the rest of the VM market makes it work even without electric assist ... It seems odd. And claiming these things couldn't be registered as l6e ... leiba already does it and they do it successfully.

A beautiful machine, it looks to be well engineered and aerodynamic. How do they deal with solar heating from the large amount of clear canopy surface?

The Brooks boom bag on the "cream" looks interesting. I have a TerraCycle frame pump bag, but that top bag would be ideal.

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

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.

super light.

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

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

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

Unfortunately most of the 50 US states have issue with 4 wheels like that.

Looks neat and wish them well for the future 😊

Good idea, but they need to hire a better designer to make it attractive. Otherwise it will not sell.

Handwheels no see

yes but its made in taiwan but bmine aint

is chris neil ben john left the buisiness

Creativity, so many new and unique designs.

I like this shade of red. To those complaining about the lack of innovation, the new CEO did say they have a lot of new exciting stuff coming.

Nobody cares your employee owned, what new products do you have. How about an improved suspension, an improved seat, ew accessories. Come on man.

Nice trike and something different

I am a rower and interested in the Varibikes. However, it is not rowing. I am not sure if I want the rotational movement for my shoulders. Will keep it mind though. I wish them the best.

A new color. That's it? And a FAT trike from 10 years ago. And a guy who sold cars now is boss. We know ICE makes great trikes. But one would wish they came up with something special. Like a solar trike? Or cargo? Something to show they love cycling. But nope. New CEO. And new color. Market driven. Oh oh.
