@@gear7715 hills yes, just a little bit harder then a regular upright bicycle. Montains, barely. But for mountains there is a schlumpf mountain drive gear that you can install. It is a planetary gearbox thing that allows you to change your gearing with a 1.6 ratio, allowing you to climb mountains more easily.

Dankjewel Teun. En bedankt voor het kijken 🙏. Ik zou zelf alleen voor elektrische ondersteuning kiezen als ik iets aan mijn motoriek zou hebben. Bijvoorbeeld slechte knieën. Het is zeker een prima keuze om te er voor te kiezen als je in de heuvels of bergen woont of er door heen reist. Ik zou eerder kiezen voor een zogenoemde schlumpf mountain drive. Dat is een gesloten planetaire tandwiel systeem dat in het midden van je voorste tandblad gemonteerd word, en waar je trapas doorheen gaat. Je kunt dan met je hielen in het midden van de trapas een pin indrukken om een extra vertraging in te schakelen. Als het goed is heeft die iets van een verhouding van 1.6. Dat betekent dat je voor elke 1.6 keer de trappers helemaal rond draaien, je voorste tandblad maar 1 keer rond draait. Dit werkt bij elke reguliere versnelling die je met je derailleur in zou stellen. Dus je drukt hem in. En ineens kom je wat makkelijker de berg op. Het is een puur mechanisch en betrouwbaar ding. Het is immers zo, dat het best wat gewicht toevoegt aan je fiets als je voor elektrische ondersteuning kiest en eigenlijk vaak niets oplevert aangezien het makkelijk is om sneller te fietsen dan 25 km/u. Sneller mag niet qua ondersteuning. Ik rij zelf als ik op gang ben altijd wel ergens tussen de 30 en 45 km/h. Dan zou ik die elektrische ondersteuning eigenlijk dus het meerendeel van de tijd alleen maar meeslepen. In de bergen en heuvels is die ondersteuning wel handig natuurlijk. Maar daarbuiten al snel niet meer. En dan heb je nog dat ondersteuning maar ergens tussen de 60 en 100 km per accu werkt voordat je moet opladen. Misschien zijn er tegenwoordig accu’s waar je verder op komt. Maar de hp velotechnic gekko van m’n vrouw die heeft ongeveer die range. Ik rij geregeld in fietstochten mee of wat verdere afstanden tussen de 60 en 110 km, en daar zou de accu me dus ook al in de steek laten. En dan heb je nog de levensduur van het elektrische systeem. Hoe lang gaat een accu nou mee? 4 tot 6 jaar? Persoonlijk vind ik dat te kort voor datgene wat het kost. En de kwaliteit van die systemen is ook niet om naar huis te schrijven. M’n vrouw heeft een van beijck systeem. Lijkt fancy. Maar de controller is van de binnenkant een zooi van ongeorganiseerde draadjes, en na 5 keer de accu uittrekken, brak de Connecter al af. Dat heb ik al vaker gezien bij verschillende merken. Wellicht zijn het stiekem allemaal Chinese prulletjes. Misschien zit ik er naast, maar elektrische fietsen heb ik nog niet echt duurzaam zien meegaan. Dus als ik moet kiezen, kies ik eerst voor de mountain drive. Daarna zou ik pas kiezen voor elektrische ondersteuning.

@@julesvelomobile heel duidelijk verhaal Bedankt voor de uitleg

@@carlossaboia6467 obrigado por assistir :). se você tiver muitas curvas mais fechadas, esta bicicleta não funcionará tão bem na cidade. tem aproximadamente o mesmo círculo de viragem de um carro. Na Holanda, onde moro, isso não é muito conveniente na cidade. Eu escolheria uma bicicleta normal ou um triciclo. esta bicicleta não é elétrica. apenas suas lâmpadas recebem energia de uma bateria. ok, para seguir em frente você usa seus músculos. você pode fazer isso eletricamente. Aqui na Europa não é permitido conduzir a mais de 25 km/h num veículo eléctrico. Como uma pessoa relativamente saudável pode facilmente dirigir mais rápido que 25 anos, não recomendo torná-lo elétrico. somente se você tiver algo errado com seus joelhos :). obrigado por assistir. Espero que um dia você encontre uma maneira de superar a cidade movimentada 🙏

On the flats with relatively good asphalt it's around 50 kph for me with a quatrevelo. A bülk, or a snoek wil be faster because the quatrevelo is more built for touring, and the others for racing. On a gentle downhill I drove 72 for a brief moment: ruclips.net/video/c3z5gikvP_s/видео.html On a proper, longer downhill, I know that a speed of 80 to around 100 kph could be achieved. I've seen others do that. But I would not try that with mine I guess because I do have the 2 75 mm regular drum brakes only, and it would take a long distance to get to a safe stop. And drum brakes kan fail if they get too hot :). If you are in top tip shape, you would be able to go a bit faster on the flats I guess.. When I commute I do try to keep a pace of 36 kph to prevent sweating like a donkey and get all smelly all day long :D

@@julesvelomobile ok, I see. I thought it was mph in the video. Thanks for the elaborated answer!

Really? I tought the head in hood, also known as alien hood, was also known as the racing hood. That’s one of the reasons I got it. To drive at higher speeds. When I close it’s visor and when I close the cover I can clearly feel the difference in less air resistance than when I drive with visor and foam cover open. And of course I got the alien hood for rainy days ☺️. I don’t have the default shark fin hood. Bought mine without it. 1 mirror makes sense. I can remove one. On the front I do have contact speeds from continental. On the back the good old trykers from schwalbe. The tubes are are also matching schwalbe ones. Vittoria latex? I’ve got to look those up. Thanks for the tips #edit. I’ve looked them up. Looks good. I’m picking those up soon

@@julesvelomobile you can buy the 25/28 700 latex and cut them yourself, super easy.

Hmmzzz. That would be awesome. I Might have a little chance I guess.

@@folkeholmberg3519 thank you 🙏

@@Bigboy4018 I don’t think it affects max speed. I think I increases the energy you need to put into it to reach that max speed. But, when it’s pretty warm outside it negatively wil impact yourself. Because you overheat 🥵 I would say, just try it if you have the cover. You can store it in the top of the racing hood

yeah it saves 15 watts

Yeah. That’s right! It can be very relaxing

Wat tof om te horen! Ik zou het niet weten. Ik heb immers geen manier om dat precies bij te houden. Ik weet dat het met speciale pedalen kan. Ik ben eigenlijk ook wel benieuwd. Als ik eens wat geld overheb, overweeg ik zulke pedalen aan te schaffen. Trouwens, houd er rekening mee dat als je een nieuwe Quatrevelo wil kopen, dat je wellicht een jaar moet wachten nadat je besteld hebt. Velomobiel.nl ontwerpt ze en het team van Jan van velomobile world, bouwt hem dan voor je. Zou tof zijn als er meerdere fabriekjes van waren...maar jammer genoeg is dat niet zo.

О, грустно это слышать. К счастью, вы можете насладиться этим видео.

Thanks. I might reconsider that tool. I've looked at it 2 years ago.

@@ngapakcityofficial hei, senang bertemu denganmu. Saya bukan pembuat atau pabrikan sepeda jenis ini. Saya membelinya seperti ini 2 tahun yang lalu. harga terakhir yang diketahui yang saya lihat di situs velomobiel.nl adalah 10300 euro. Saya tidak bisa memberi tahu Anda berapa biaya pengiriman yang seharusnya. dapatkah Anda mengirim email ke info@velomobiel.nl? mereka akan membantu Anda lebih jauh. yang terbaik adalah melakukan ini dalam bahasa Inggris. atau bahasa Belanda jika Anda kebetulan bisa melakukannya. Terima kasih telah datang untuk melihat 🙏

@@julesvelomobile terimakasih informasinya kaka, Kaka dari negara mana ya?? Salam kenal dari indonesia 🙏

Exactly! You understand exactly like it is. According to the site of the manufacturer, It weighs somewhere between 32 and 35 kg, depending on the options you choose. The options I did choose extra was the racing hood, cup holder, phone attachment bar. That's it I believe. So I guesstimate thats around 34 kg. But....good to know is that I always carry this stuff extra in the back of the velomobile. 1 spare tire, 1 inner tube. 2 blankets. A bag of wrenches, tie wraps, shockpump, wheel lock and bicycle pump. I guess thats around 3 - 5 kilograms extra. Manufacturer source specs (in dutch): www.velomobiel.nl/quatrevelo/technische_gegevens.php

Nice! Now I finally now what brand those things where. One of my old neighbors had a Caterham Self Build car. But as far as I knew, it was a self build car. Now I now the brand. Thanks! By the way. I did not build this specific velomobile self. I bought it from the manufacturer. And cool to know is that there is a different velomobile thats called "Alleweder". It was a velomobile that you could buy in the past and build yourself. It was pretty much all aluminum if I was correct. It was pretty heavy, but at least you could drive in it in all weather. That is what the name alleweder means. All weather :).

Why? I have never been stopped ? But here these machines are quite common.

Dang. Not cool. Stay strong! One day you'll be able to get out again. Maybe you could get some kind of stand where you can put your bike on, put a video of mine on, and pedal along from your living room? I know some people do :). By the way....the weather over here was crazy too. Summer started a month ago, but the weather is now slowly changing to feel like summer. The previous 9 - 10 months were pretty much always rainy. That was not cool. Previous year was pretty ok, and the 2 years before that were extremely dry and hot. The year before that, the village my dad lived in pretty much was washed away in a super flood. Crazy!

@@kennethdarlington that’s a good question. Drum brakes feel like braking with a sponge. Since I got the stock ones, it doesn’t have that much braking power as I would recommend when driving at this speed. The max I would recommend with just 2 75mm drum brakes on a bike like this is around 50 kph. Unless you know what margin you do have to brake. I usually take a big margin. When I do have some spare time and the opportunity to head back to this place, I’ll make a video about it.

To make it move, I only use my muscles. :) I do have a little battery inside, as big as a powerbank, that provides power to the front and rear lights. And also the turn signal indicators and horn. If you want to know more about this machine, I’ve created an in depth video: Up-close with a Quatrevelo ruclips.net/video/C14A1y8B2ag/видео.html

@@radekhahag4472 thanks for watching g 🤘🏻🙏

@@ilya7435mine does not have an motor at all. It’s possible to have one installed but in Europe you can only have one that works until you reach 25 kph. For someone that does not have health issues like me, it does not make that much sense to install such motor. Because it is very easy to reach a speed of 25 kph. After which the battery and motor become a burden of dead weight you carry with you.

@@julesvelomobile / Or up to 45 km/h, as a speed-pedelec....... a.k.a. een 'brommer'.

Yes. I only have a small battery pack to power the lights, turn signals and the horn. Please have a look at this video for the full details: Up-close with a Quatrevelo ruclips.net/video/C14A1y8B2ag/видео.html

Yes. When I have some money to spend I’ll buy some kind of power meter. Suggestions are welcome. If it could link with my Garmin bicycle computer that would be nice 👍

There were some happy kids passing by behind me, ringing their bells. 😊

Fortunately not. When I encounter one. I need to stop. Horses think that i am kind of a predator or something and tend to go wild otherwise

In this tour it was 31.2 km/h

It takes days to do so and then I need to re upload it. But I got a similar video over here that had an overlay that includes speed: High speed velomobile driving spring 2024 (speedometer overlay) ruclips.net/video/nP5Bhte74LU/видео.html

Send a mail to velomobiel.nl for example. You could go out and try one. It’s not that easy to try one, depending on your global location. But when its possible it’s going to be fun 🙂

Only the initial costs when purchasing one. Then it’s way cheaper than a car ☺️

What does that gazing at the flatness mean to you :)? Sometimes it gets boring and I want to try hills, but when I am at the hills, after admiring them, I am drawn back to this vastness of flatness

@@julesvelomobile I'd love to go further than 200m from my home before the first hill, sometimes feels like 50m. Hills are good training though, but so is keeping high speed on flats as well.

@@thereference2337i dont think that u can drive a velomobile highspeed on those cycle paths. Overtaking other bikers or even worse pedestrians with 70 km/h is too damgerous. Only possible on the road. And what i know, using the road with your bike in the netherlands is not really common. So everyone will be honking at you.

Let's see. I would say it can be seen as overestimated when you compare it to....what exactly? Could you elaborate on that? I could see how it's overestimated when you compare "high speed" against the speed of a car. When you are driving in a car, it's easy to think that I am not so fast when comparing the speed of my velomobile against your car. When you compare its speed agains the speed of a plane, you could see me as incredibly slow. Compare my speed against the speed of a pedestrian, you could say I am very fast. I can assume this because I accidentally sometimes scare people with my speed :). When you compare my speed agains regular bicycles you could state that I am fast. Even compared to electric bicycles that go as fast as 25 kph. So....I would say...it depends on how to would compare my speed. right? You can also take my age into account. Believe it or not, I'm not 18 years old anymore :). Im not old either. Maybe we can take my health into account too. You know, of course I can go a bit faster on a perfectly straight and flat road with a good type of asphalt. But that comes with a cost, at least for me. I currently think I cannot achieve a much higher speed for a 71 kilometer long trip. When you put your mind into comparative state it's easy to draw conclusions. I think the beauty of al those conclusions is that they al can be "true" at once. And that's absolutely fine! What matters most to me is having fun while driving this amazing human powered contraption while sharing that with everyone who would like to see it. Does that kind of makes sense?

@@julesvelomobile didn't expect a novel as reply but thanks 😄 I compare it to a road bike and what numbers I (an enthusiastic hobby rider) achieve on it (then again I'm 30 don't know about your age) the velomobile has a significant aerodynamic advantage after all where you can achieve higher speeds at lower power costs so I was surprised at the max speed of "only" 50 enjoy your orange rocket

@@beefkd I love novels :) Im a little bit older :). It has an advantage indeed. You can drive faster than 50 kph. I can do that for about 15 minutes at the moment I guess. It really depends on if you are in shape. You know, this makes me wonder how long I could do that. You know what, I think I might to drive at absolute max very soon. I'm thinking about sharing that too! By the way, I know there are some pedals on the market that connect to your gps or phone that will show you the power output. Do you use such devices? Thanks for inspiring me :)

@@julesvelomobile I have the low budget form of power meter as crank arm, the pedal power meters are pretty expensive if you pair them with a heart rate monitor you kan keep track of your progress really well, if you want that for me it's fun collecting that data even if I don't have serious racing ambitions 😄 keep rocking dude, looking forward to seeing your rocket go full speed 👍

Yeah! Kind of like that huh. The only thing that is missing is a petrol engine. This one's fueled by banana's, granola bars, water and such stuff.

Most of the times it is in a way. I hope it's also fun to watch sometimes. :) thanks for being here.

Yeah, somehow I managed to keep up with a 45 km/h moped for a while if that's what you mean.

@@julesvelomobile yes that's what I thought you were doing trying to do lol

@@julesvelomobileI can keep up with cars going that speed through the city on my road bike by tucking in behind them and drafting off them lol. I’m not nearly as aero as a velomobile but with a big truck or a car pushing all that air out of the way I can fake it pretty well.

@@Thezuule1 same here, the important thing is to not let them accelerate faster than you do and also its very important to have the brakes - as I like it to call - preloaded

Hi Larry :). Yeah. I gave in on my way to young monkey mind that pops up from time to time :) I guess there are more people out and about because if the slightly improving weather. Believe it or not but it's raining a lot over here the past 8 months. Normally this time of year it's mostly sunny, plus 22 degrees celcius (71.6 fahrenheit) and just nice weather for a couple of months straight. Without lots of rainy days.

Dank voor t meerijden! Altijd leuk

Congratulations. I did put it on top of the racing hood width a curved GoPro mount in case you are wondering. 🤔

@@julesvelomobile I have mine mounted to the front of the coaming. I also put one on the hood, but took it off since I had it so off center. Will try again later!

Correct I have the most simple configuration. To keep is as reliable as possible. I actually don’t know the gradients. But I can tell you this. Till the resting point in the hills the total meters I drove upwards was 230 meters. Downhill it was 192 meters. Most of those meters were driven starting at 1 hour and 1 minute into the video according my gps. After the resting stop it was 122 up and 162 down until the end of the recording. Made some. After that I went home ☺️. If I would drive in those hills daily i probably would get a mountain drive. Not so much because of the strength you should have. But just to make te drivetrain last longer I guess and especially to prevent excessive heat. My body caused heating the inside of the velomobile up to 36 degrees c at the most intense climbs. Those temperatures lasted for 15 minutes. The rest of the hill part it was around 30 degrees inside the velomobile. When you hydrate enough and be aware of the heat you will be fine. At least for around 8 to 10 hours. That’s the longest I’ve driven in such temps. After that period I needed a day of rest to recover. Thank you for watching again. Let me know if you want to know more 🙏

@@Legborghini72 nice! I would love to see your modifications. I can imagine e-assist is nice in the hills. Couple of weeks back it was quite challenging in the hills down south of the Netherlands. These aren’t mountains I know. But driving a velomobile up a hill is a little bit harder than a regular bicycle.

There are some RC Turbine motors that I would like to try. But I bet that would make it illegal to drive on the street. Besides being very expensive, I don't know IF they produce enough force to propel a velomobile :). Would be cool though :) Maybe I will try it if somehow I did get the money

Sorry. Did you get dizzy 😵‍💫?

Woah, that’s nice to hear. Hope you also like it in the long run. Takes a bit to get properly used to, but then it’s fun! Looking forward to a video 😊.

@@julesvelomobile I have my first video up on my page. Been working on it this morning getting sensors mounted and other small things. Changed out the full hood for the open hood due to temperature. Loving it so far! How arte the new tires working out for you?

☺️. Welcome to the channel. Just relax, sit back and imagine you are driving with us when you are watching. That’s fine too. And to be honest I am thankful that I can drive such amazing vehicle and can share this with you and the rest of the world. Thank you for being around 👍👊☺️

That’s good to hear. Those tryker tires I did have on it before aren’t produced anymore by the way. I do suspect that the Stock qv still will have the 40/406 tires on it. These are fine too. I think somewhere in the future I will make a follow up on this video about my experiences with 28/406 tires. I hope I still have the same braking power :) since I usually drive pretty fast

Sie können das Fahrrad vollständig schließen. So bleiben Sie bei Bedarf völlig trocken. Was Sie beim vollständigen Schließen beachten müssen, ist Folgendes. Da es geschlossen ist, erwärmt es sich im Inneren schnell. Das ist oft schön. Wenn Sie jedoch zu schnell fahren, kann es manchmal zu Kondenswasserbildung an der Innenseite Ihres Fahrrads kommen. Vom Schwitzen und dem Temperaturunterschied draußen. Und dann bleibt man nicht ganz trocken. Und dann ist da noch die Herausforderung mit dem Visier. Wenn es regnet, erscheinen Regentropfen. Das Fahrrad verfügt serienmäßig nicht über einen Scheibenwischer. Für mich bedeutet es also oft, dass ich mit leicht geöffnetem Visier fahre. Schön für die frische Luft, aber weniger schön für den Regen im Gesicht. Aber das sind nur kleine Unannehmlichkeiten :). Im Übrigen ist es sehr angenehm, durch den Regen zu radeln. Egal wie stark es regnet :) Schauen Sie sich auch hier Minute 32:48 an: ruclips.net/video/C14A1y8B2ag/видео.htmlsi=NjEULarArOLYEYeD&t=1968 Dort zeige ich dir genau, wie du das Fahrrad komplett verschließt :)
