What do y'all think of our new Voiceover artist?: 🗣🎙czcams.com/video/_GBO3MRpofg/video.html
I loved seeing Saukki's "Voyager" Quattrovelo, running around in Western Siberia. I'm sort of surprised that the Katanga velomobile, wasn't on your list. The way it can be separated to allow maintenance and repairs, along with its 0.1 aerodynamic drag coefficient, makes it one of the better velomobile options out there. The drive train options on it are pretty cool too. It isn't the fastest though.
Interesting! We'll keep this information in mind for our next velomobile video.
Great channel ! love the selection of cars
Glad you like them!
Very interesting! Been watching and waiting for the body housings to develop. Thinking about owning one but the cost at the moment for the pounds of weight do not make sense. This inventive nature will continue one day making these the Only vehicles used for in town operations.
Great analysis. We agree. As price comes down demand will definitely increase; especially in urban areas.
Super cool video! I’m definitely thinking about getting one now. It would be fun for around town driving. 🙂
Thanks Wesley! Stay tuned for more great content.
It'd be a convo piece.
The podbike (although the name "pod-bike" is somewhat a misnomer), the Iris and the Bio-Hybrid and of course the Northern Lights Motors 428 my faves. The Quattro Velo is starting to grow on me ..although it looks like something from out of the 30's/40's. Or some kind of missile or fuselage. These are all cool personal transports and I'd love to have one for short range trips around my town/city.
True that! The Bio-Hybrid is really cool and so is the NLM.
Keep going, this is very helpful
Thanks Somen!
Most Definitely I Would Love To Have One Of These
Agreed.
The future of cycling and driving
True that.
The bio hybrid is the most flexible and practical for in and out daily routines and potential for cargo versus the others which are based on speed and aerodynamics
Thanks so much for the info! We love hearing feedback on these velomobiles. It helps us make better videos in the future!
Yes, i agree..
Unfortunately the company went bankrupt.
Super happy to have a Van Moof S2
Such a care-free bike 😌
@VanMoof is such a great brand!
@@Electric-Rideables yeah, if only they stopped lying and scamming so much.
Thank you for this clip. I love new ideas. I love creativity
Awesome. Glad you like them.
Most of these velomobiles are little more than death traps. BioHybrid is cool but misses the point by not lean steering. A leaning trike/quad can be made the width of a normal bicycle handlebar so it takes up far less road space allowing more vehicles to move usefully on congested roads. The tilt on bends prevents it falling over.
Great information! We are definitely going to include leaning/tilting models in future videos.
You think a velomobile is a death trap? aren't bikes way worse?
@Jonathan Carr
Agreed. These are more visible, which is a safety plus. They typically run at slower speeds, too. AAdditionaly they can still access bike lanes, too.
Also widens it's profile
Think one of the flaws of a leaning one is if you use it to carry things. It could shift too much. Also think speed on cornering may be a negative on shared trails because of leaning into other lane.
A very fun video to see some interesting products out there. The glass covers are especially good for frying your brain in hot climates. But really creative attempts nonetheless. Thanks.
Haha. Yeah, I bet.
Brilliant designs and well priced.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback on our best velomobile video.
The Bio Hybrid and the Screecher are my 2 favorites.
Awesome selection.
It would be great to know more about availability in other countries. I’m in Japan, looking for something not too low as I am disabled. These are fascinating and I could certainly get used to being mobile once again.
Good to know. You definitely should check the manufacturer's websites for shipping countries.
Exactly. They need to remember that people have different needs. I think enclosed bikes have a interesting future. They would add functionality and usability, especially if you could secure cargo and bring pets.
Maybe you could design one based on your needs but also the needs of chronically mobile people to be able to peddle at 100% capacity or for peddle assist for minimally mobile people, and then for those who cannot mobilize for long period so they can all have a way of getting around that doesn't leave a carbon foot print and is easy to get in and out of and easy to use, have a blueprint of it drawn up and patent it and then sell the patent or find a partner to help you get a small factory going or do it by yourself. This is one, especially if it is easy to get in and out of th
Or if someone in Japan is already making them, ask if he can make you an one with the option to move the bottom rung that would be a door if there is no floor so you can step in and sit, or make it so the seat can swivel out and around to you for you to sit and then swivels back in for you!!!
That NLM 4K Export 1 Is a darn good looking vehicle. I love that retro look. Plus that "cockpit" like canopy is perfect. Adds a bit of mystery to the whole picture, as you cant really see the driver inside, nor see the propulsion method. Just a silent form as it glides by. Nice! I like that. I would Jump at the chance to have that in a
Yea I want one of them the last one 🔥
Great choice
Great video I'm currently trying to build a recumbent trike electric these videos give me bare ideas my friend thanks for sharing
Of course! Thanks for viewing. We'll definitely have more velomobile videos down the line.
@@Electric-Rideables thanks mate
I liked the last en guy's great stuff
Yeah, that guy's stuff is great.
@@Electric-Rideables yeah it's all good pal you take care yeah bye
Some of these are sooo cute. Literally never thought about getting something like this before watching the video but they look so fun
Thanks Jessica! This was a fun video to research and produce for sure. Stay tuned for more great content!
@@Electric-Rideables
P
Yaaaaas!!!!
Yaaaas is right
I like the look of the Mukana but they should think about doing a slimmer version ie still have two seats keep the look but have them one behind the other, that way they wouldn't have to sit in traffic when on the road.
But I think it has potential with the changes, but as a tourist bike the side by side is good.
One behind the other is a good seating position.
It could likely be used instead of a golf cart with it's current configuration. It's also like peddle boats, so a fun resort ride.
Thanks for an interesting informative video. I learned a few new things.
I hate the background music though.
The last two 🤤
The last two are so good.
this are awesome for campgrounds
Good point.
I would like to add CityQ, Drycycle, Begorett, Canyon Future Mobility Concept and Podride to the list.
Excellent! We will definitely keep those in mind for future PodCar-related videos.
love to see how any of these would do on my 8% 5 mile hill
Good point.
I liked the Quattro velo, and Frikar E-Bike, But I was really thinking the Iris e-trike would be my overall choice...!
All great options.
I want the Biohybrid!
Us too!
Thanks for using bunch of my videos for this! Although it would have been nice if you would have asked a permission to do so. Also it would have been nice to get some credit. But you failed to mention any of the sources of footage in the video description.
Hi Saukki. We try to use videos directly from the manufacturer, but if we used footage from your channel to make this video I apologize. I'll be more than happy to link out to your channel in the description. I'll do that now! All the best
We added this to the video description:

Crazyyyyyyyyyyy
Supa crazy
I liked number eight the best seems the most comfortable, safe, versatile, flexible, various, mixed, comboed, relaxing, chillaxing, meditative, or and protected
Totally agree!
PodRide is the one I am waiting on.
PodRide is one of the best. We are thinking about doing a whole video on that one.
Fan tàs tic 👍
👍
Full suspension is a must on a recumbent velo.
Yesiree
great info guys, but what about Qlio Velo? ...
Next time.
Iris Etrike is the mos beautiful one.
The Iris eTrike is definitely one of our favs as well. We have another great video coming out tonight on electric boats if you're interested!
Vanmoof
Funny how style less is now a stylish design!
Hehehe.
I always thought the Go-One 3 was a beautiful velomobile and none of the velomobiles on this list even come close to it's beauty of design imo.
We'll look into the Go-One 3 for our next video!
Where can I get the IRIS eTrike ?
I’d LOVE to have one for the 10 mile round trip to and from town to get the mail and a few groceries when needed.
Awesome! Check their website. The name is Grant Sinclair.
More information about top speed and battery life would be nice.
Thanks so much Ben! We'll definitely add top speeds and battery life to future videos. Cheers
Guess it’ safe to assume all of these don’t exceed the speed qualifying them as a electric assist bicycle otherwise a license would become needed, what somewhat reduces the customer range.
@@SmilingDevil exactly! Important is autonomy, not speed. (And autonomy is relativ too.. because depends how many you help with your pedals to extend this range.
You missed the WAW from Katanga. The features for repair and maintenance along with great handling and safety features should have it near the top of the list.
Thanks for the heads up! We'll try to get the WAW from Katanga on the next one. Cheers!
Are there any others you think should be on the list?
@@Electric-Rideables 1) Raerderwerk Milan SL (most aero velomobil ever ! Cd =0.09 ! developped by an ex-Volkswagen aerodynamicist and windtunnel tested , holder of the 24 h record at over 1200 km) and also include the future Milan RS which is smaller and even faster. 2 Intercitybike DF (nearly as aero as 1)
3) Velomobiel.nl Snoek , also very aero . 4) Alpha 7 , spinoff from 2 , but even lighter
I like all of a bit
Awesome! Stay tuned for more content around velomobiles :).
The front end of the Sunox’s frame looks like the front end of the Pebl better bike.
I like it in that striped down look.
I’m not a fan of the back of that frame.
It doesn’t fit the look of the front.
It doesn’t look as robust as the front.
I’m sure that that is just an optical allusion though.
Great eye.
Are you aware of the organic transit: elf? This is peddled, with solar assist and enclosed, with many different models.
We are! Thanks for asking. We have featured the Organic Transit Elf in other videos on our channel.
This is too big for sidewalks or bike lanes but so cool I want one
Most of these can actually be ridden on sidewalks and bike lanes. Guess you just have to be mindful of your surroundings when driving one.
I want one.
Us too.
I wonder how much they sell this in philippines? If affordables, it is good during this pandemic.
Great question!
have you considered the range from Trisled Australia?
I can honestly say I have not considered the range from Trisled Australia.
Watched all of it
Amazing. Thanks :).
There are several price tags missing in the video
Good to know. Thanks!
2:07 Scouter Mobility Pod Bike:czcams.com/video/DEmyIs1K4C4/video.html
Thanks!
The NLM looks stylish, but since it is not concepted to be competitive in velocity (repeating the regrettable and unneccessary example of the "Le Mans" Velomobile) - why not mount a mudgard on the front wheels? Instead of throwing the mud in the face of the driver? Yes, a whishbone front undercarriage looks more clean than a McPherson, but is dragwise also as terrible anyway.
Frikar is illegal in Germany because of the lack (and impossibility) of a windscreen wiper. Other windscreens, like that of Quattro Velo, can be put away, because of the smaller size (that is called the in-case-of-rain-open-up-to-let-it-in method). Even if your velomobile is not a pedelec, you would want to use *some* electricity for navigation, lighting etc. - so you would surely want your thing to have *some* space on top, that is flat or onedimensionally curved, for a flexible solar cell.
Wow. Thanks for all this great information!
The Frikar has now the possibility of the windscreen wiper.
Any of the ones without space to carry a few groceries is useless as a utilty vehicle. The biohybrid looks good with different body options. Not featured, but the ELF is another good one.
Great points. Thanks!
Wow cool wheels but ya'l forgot a few things those 3 and 4 wheel jobs should at the very least have mirrors on the side or rear view and no brake lights or just red lights in the back gotta have mirrors do those with windows do they roll down but gotta have mirrors how many gears 7 or 8 ?
No Velomobile can get me around during the winter months as we get 5-6 feet of snow every winter.
Dang.
Are any of them legal in the US?
There are varying legalities in the US so be sure to check with each model you are interested in. We have heard of importing them to the US, but mostly they are for bicycle lanes.
Check with Doug Davis from bicycle evolution in Texas. He sells and imports velomobiles
I like the finished look of the Firkar...but it's too big for a sidewalk without hitting people. The optimal wheel placement is 2 on the centerline...ever hear of training wheels? No one ever had trouble riding a 2-wheel bike and the width savings would be way more safe.
Good points.
Bio hybrid would be the most practical of all the above.
I think so too.
Yes but when can we purchase them in the UK
Not sure. Every model is different and offered in different countries.
I WANT one of those GrantSinclair IRIS bikes !
The company hasn't responded to me in weeks. Are they still a viable company ?
They appear to be in business still. You should try to reach out to them on Facebook or Twitter.
A couple of these were described as "last mile transportation" vehicles...but would fail abysmally in that regard. To succeed, they'd have to be able to travel on bus/train/etc - and I don't see that being possible. e-Scooters and folding bikes _do_ fit the bill.
Great information! We'll definitely keep that in mind when producing our next last-mile transportation related video.
i'm glad you pointed out the mis-use of that term. Looking at these videos of three or four-wheeled, enclosed, electric assist vehicle didn't match my understanding of what a "last mile" vehicle is.
“Last mile” is usually used to refer to package delivery, of e-commerce shipments. Once the shipment arrives on the city of destination, the “last mile” delivery to the recipient is done
@@kurtjens
'Last-mile' is a shipping industry term. It denotes the segment of shipping that delivers directly to the customer. These would work for getting to the city, but would definitely fall short going city to city. Bus systems may need a rethink to accommodate them somehow...
9:35 schwalbe are not puncture proof. I know because I have them on my road bike. Continental 5000 tubeless are a better choice and what I use after schwalbe failures. . I'm 255lb. Beyond that , great design and features.
Thanks for the feedback on the Schwalbe. We'll keep that in mind for future videos.
+James Bond great information!
@@Electric-Rideables I run my conti5000l at 80 psi. My previous weight was off. I'm 260+LBS lol
The problem are the 260 lbs, not the Schwalbe or Cont..
@@HonestSaxSound-unEdited- Snob alert!!! I never said I had problems with my contis. My opinion of the Schwalbe I talked about was puncture seal and they have issue with their sidewall regardless of weight. I had better result with Bontrager. Also when I have had punctures on the Schwalbe it takes longer to seal. I never even know I have a puncture with my conti. So my weight isn't the issues since people I know that ride on locals teams that weigh 90lbs less say the same thing. A good friend I ride with is about 5'10 and normal weight for is size and he got a puncture that wouldn't seal. Never had that problem with my Conti. As a heavy rider I do my research on all aspects of what I purchase from wheels, frame, geometry. I have a Dogma F10 disc, with Dura ace Di2, and Roval CLX 32 No issues with flats. As a former pro athlete I push my bike which means I sometime can't avoid bad roads. still no issue with my conti tires. Many crit riders are my size and are a hell of a lot faster than me. They only time I mention weight to big guys is when they want a lighter bike vs loosing weight. The reason I mention the tires is because many people are going to use this vehicle and not be 180lb or less or you're going to have a lot of head aches. Bikes have weight limits , but do people care, nope. As a business owner. Best to protect yourself from customer service head ache. Get it now.
#9 is too low to the ground. One speed bump and you're toast.
👍
Where or why might these triumph where the Sinclair C5 failed all those years ago?
Time will tell.
What’s the music in the video
Not sure, but it is on one of the youtube royalty-free music playlists.
@@Electric-Rideables thanks
Me encantaría comprar uno pero en dónde den más información
verifique los enlaces de su canal de youtube en la descripción de este video.
The car in the thumbnail is not represented in this video. Does anyone know what kind of car is in the thumbnail?
Great question! The thumbnail is actually the Iris eTrike from Grant Sinclair. It is number nine in the video. Thanks for asking and I hope this helps.
@@Electric-Rideables Yes it is. Thank you for clarifying.
That last one has no ground clearance - you wouldn't get far - doesn't look like it could even go over speed bumps . . .
Haha. Perhaps not.
I own an eBike with battery assistance.
I’d like to buy a Velomobile so that I can ride it in the rain, as we get a Lot during the spring and fall here in north central WA state USA.
I just don’t want to be forced to pay $10K or more. I can buy a LOT of fuel for 10 grand.
4 Velomobiles and I can buy a new EV car.
Good point.
Some of these look a great idea to reduce pollution, but I'm imagining a future where it is might be just as congested with those and electric cars where I live in outer London. If diesel and petrol cars vanish from our roads and are replaced with these and also electric cars, then I'm sure the government will swiftly switch the vehicle road tax on to them. Still, at least the air will be cleaner. I still think the ordinary bike is the best bet and it doesn't have a parking problem, which I imagine these will still have to some degree.
Agreed. Regular bikes and eBikes are a great way to go.
@@Electric-Rideables And electric scooters
Well, you could use them for a local commuting or riding your local town, then use trains, buses, car pooling to travel longer distances. And rent bikes locally when remote or on vacation. All cars will be replaced by electric cars, the shifting has already begun.
But the roads and parking that would be needed for them would be much much smaller and so less obtrusive and more eco friendly (due to large wide roads and huge parking lots not needing to be built). And if regular bikes and public transit are used more too, then I don’t really think congestion will be much of a problem.
I am building a collection of these videos to watch years later. I want to look back at every single one of these high school engineering club startup failures. Dork mobiles are never a hit with the public. btw say what you like in anger in response to this. I never read comments, so I automatically win, I get the last word.
Good to know. Thanks for the feedback. And no need to respond. We don't read comments, either.

Hahaha. Sure does. Never thought of that.
i drive a 1985 sinclair c5 :)
Nice!
How safe are these if they collide with an electric wheelchair or a truck?
Most of these bikes are preorder only - so the "buy right now" tag seems a little misleading.
Apologies for that. Some of them are available right now. We'll do better in the future.
Why didn't you give the price on All of them?
Fuck yes . Where to buy? Need these in Cali
Haha. I'm sure they're there.
maybe but not here it would be to hot in the summer in a glass bubble you would sweat to death don't need a heater you would need AC
For sure. Maybe someone can create a little condenser AC unit for one. Probably wouldn't do much good though.
Podbike has been recently quoted as being 3 yrs out, won't be available in North America unless someone picks up the manufacturing license.

Thanks for the tip. We'll keep that in mind and try to let our viewers know.
Seriously, they could not add a trunk on the scout???
Haha. Yeah. Ya think they could have fit that.
Disappointing that the market for this trype of vehicle isn't so popular... Many of these bikes nad brands don't exist anymore D:

Nunca mostram uma dessas subindo uma ladeira.
Bom ponto. No entanto, eles estabeleceram métricas para avaliar o desempenho de alguns deles em inclinações. Espero que tenha gostado do vídeo! Temos mais vídeos de velomobile em breve.
The Iris e trike is ILLEGAL to use in the U.K
Sorry to hear that.
i think you made a mistake on the Mulsanne by saying it's frame is aluminum, actually aluminium velomobiles are cheaper and not built for speed, i'm pretty sure te Mulsanne like the previous Quatrovelo are built with carbon fiber by hand, that's why they are expensive
Thanks for catching that! Very much appreciated. Yeah, carbon fiber is way different and more expensive than aluminum.
The correct answer is: the shell is made from composite material: Carbon/epoxy. And in there is an aluminium sub-frame to mount the drive-components on. This is common practice in many velomobiles around. Sometimes this subframe is (partially) Carbon as well.

Looks random like the Fry Bike will mean Will be "cooked" inside anyway as a Fact and Joke.
Anyway thinking of "Arthur", would mean real Spelling of Medival is not Medieval? It is different? They made themselves same Pronounciation in Many Places?
What makes people believe "Sword in Stone" is Hard to Takeout?
Dang. That's deep.
Oh, there will be legislation if these things go mainstream.
Cause no way the US government is going to just allow free passage on the roads (that need maintenance through taxes and such) freely en mass.
So, the funny (and sad) part is, it's probably better off for these things and their usage to stay relatively niche
Valid argument. They mostly need safe passage on smaller roads, not necessarily on the highway.
Those clear domed bikes will get awfully stuffy and hot in summer. The need windows/ventilation
Great feedback! Thanks for sharing.
The Quattrevelo has that....
How much does it cost
Which one?
