The add motor M360 would make for a good travel bike on moderate terrain. You could easily add a small bed roll just behind the handlebars. Then load the basket with your other supplies. Not so sure about the low hanging chain though. If the tension arm moves towards the front of the bike. Hitting a solid object could really mess it up.
The Canyon FMC is really interesting to see. It's just taking a velomobile, redesign it into a car looking/feeling vehicle, and still functions as a bicycle.
Excellent video. Excellent products. These vehicles are starting to get my attention in a serious way. I would love to get rid of my car, the insurance, taxes, maintenance and fuel costs are enormous and to get a new one I'll need financing as well. The city I live has converted all the rail lines to walking/bike trails including the old railway bridge. No hills. I'd be crazy not to look into a vellocar, one that is totally covered that can go from trail to street with no license, insurance or registration required. There was one in the video that was really close. Need it to be winterized too. Subed and liked :)
The 3 or 4 wheel configurations are too wide for things like parking convenience or fitting in tight spaces (Cabriovelo keeps it slim though). Maybe a two-wheel setup with outboard 'training wheels'?
I live in an inner residential area of Berlin - and I'm glad that some parcel delivery services are now using electrically assisted bikes with large cargo compartments. They replace aging diesel vans that clog up the streets when parked for delivery and they avoid lots of combustion fumes. 👍
That's fantastic news! It's really encouraging to hear about the shift towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly delivery methods, especially in densely populated urban areas like Berlin. The use of electrically assisted bikes with large cargo compartments sounds like a great initiative to reduce traffic congestion and minimize air pollution. It's a win-win for both the city's atmosphere and its residents.
What's your favorite for the velomobile? I would like a velomobile with battery recuperation and a stable and powerful motor for driving passes in the mountains and subsequent recuperation on the descent.
Please note that the name is VeLove, not VeVolve. The VeLove has great suspension and traction. I’ve used one during a winter day with full load with no problem.
Cool. I like the 4 wheeled Microlino, it's still expensive but it's cool. The Citroen Ami just needs to have a 300mile range and be around US$6k and it'll be a huge hit. God bless.
Honestly I just don’t understand why on earth we do not have a 1 seater electric car with 4 wheels already! That Canyon is a beautiful design, just wish it was actually a car!
Hello, I see many ELECTRIC vehicles that are advertised and many MOTORCYCLES, many ELECTRIC CARS, ELECTRIC BICYCLES, (BUT) I see everything but I do not see anything for sale, I do not see ANYTHING in the Dealers where are they?, where are they sold How do I get one?
This is way more sustainable than heavy vehicles we have right now...especially when you can switch out the batteries on the fly. even though I don't appreciate the pedaling part aside from legal reasons...
@@Electric-Rideables Well, to be honest. My velomobile is rarely locked. They are not stolen much. And sometimes for joyriding, but then they have to find out how to release the brakes. ;)
If it is manufactured in india, South Asia, the costs and pricing will be reduced to 1/8-1/15th of the current cost and pricing. Profits and sales will be multifold
(1) The greenhouse cost of shipping will turn off much of the interested customer base in the USA. (2) Many of these are being made by small companies run by people tired of seeing all of the decent-paying jobs that don't require a college degree sent to Southeast Asia. (3) The customer cost difference would be far less than that due to the profit motive of the importers. It would just be another case of Asian workers being underpaid relative the target market's sale price-which in the long run is bad for Asian economies. Making these products at prices affordable for local Asian markets, targeted at those markets, and by people in those markets would be good for everybody.
I like the look of the Canyon, but it needs a steering system more in tune with a car or bike. having the handles down by your side is not a good idea for this vehicle it would lend itself more to better steering systems.
Entweder 2 Räder vorne, beim 3 Rad oder 4 Räder. Rad vorne ist eine untechnische Lösung. Beim Bremsen verlagern sich 75% des Gewichtes auf die Vorderräder, ebenso beim Kippmoment. Daher entweder 2 Räder vorne oder 4 Räder ! Die billigste 3 Radausführung benötigt gefederte Vorderräder und einen gut gefederten Sitz, wenn schon nicht das Hinterrad gefedert ist. Dabei kann man aber nicht viel einsparen. Vergesst große Elektroautos !
@@Electric-Rideables Ich hatte selbst, nach Kriegsende,, Dreirad Pedalwagen, z.T.mit kleinen Hilfsmotoren (Fuchs, Sachsonette Nabenmotor 7u. Ähnlichen) konstruiert und gebaut. Bitte nie ein Rad vorne ! Beispiel dazu war der Tempo 3 Rad Lieferwagen. Oft kippten die4se Wagen um, vor allem in Kurven und schon bei geringem Tempo, außerdem brach auch oft das Zentralrohrchassis im Biegeteil ab, weil die Belastung, durch die Gewichtsverschiebung, beim Bremsen nach vorne, zu groß wurde. Kann man nur, bei ganz langsamen, Lastdreirädern so konstruieren., wo das Hauptgewicht vor allem auf den Hinterrädern ruht.
a big issue would be the spatial awareness of motor vehicle drivers and riders. These things would have to have flag poles with lights/reflectors on them because some of them are very low to the ground. i imagine a lot of car drivers turning into them. cyclists would have a lot more awareness then people in these things and could therefore protect themselves from cars, so i imagine myself feeling safer on a bike.
The e bikes should not be confused with velomobiles. Real velomobiles are made of carbon to be as light as possible, with low center of gravity for good maneuvering and they use rider's peddling power only. The average speed is usually much higher than 25 km/h, so there's no use for electric motor, it is just extra dead weight. If you want/ need exercise then you should buy a velomobile like Milan, DF, Quattrovelo, Alpha 7 etc... and these bikes already exist. Many of these e bikes are interesting concepts on designer's screen, but fail to be impractical in real life. And they really depend on that motor because of heavy weight. Although there clearly seems to be need for further development, some of the cargo bikes might still be great for delivery jobs
1 rear wheel in the middle takes most of the potentially useful cargo space. if you cannot put at least 2 beer crates in then most people I wont even consider it.. Even better would be an optional passenger seat / luggage space to carry your dog or your shopping..
Why do all these vehicles have such an odd design. Seriously, they look like special need transportation vehicles. Personally I'd be embarrassed to go to work with one of these. The NLM on the other hand, is the only one I'd consider buying.
The 'pure science' that goes into designing a minimalist vehicle to meet the criteria of light weight and low energy use will produce different results from those achieved by the producers of ICE vehicles based on the design concepts of last century. Also, Electric and Hybrid vehicles specifically designed to look as much like a traditional ICE vehicle as possible (in order to sell them to older/more conservative buyers who might consider anything else "odd") will rarely be as efficient as those designed according to science rather than fashion/aesthetics.
Hi guy's . So here's a major problem and point of your european electric transportation ideas, 1 if I can't drive to a d from my destination in 1 charge its useless I can drive 40 miles just to the other side of town and 40 back . 2 the vehicle needs to go 55mph so I can use the inner city byways. And if I choose to go to a picnic or camping outing, the mountain is 60 miles away , and there is no 0ower grid there so a minimum of 130miles not 130km is needed.
Why are these vehicles so expensive? $10k for what is basically a $1500 bike with a plastic shell. These are half the cost of a cheap, but brand new car which is far more capable
Until these are mass poroduced, they will not be good value for money. The Podride was the most promising, but I think the project failed, and the Bio Hybrid too. For now, the best value EVs available in the UK are modest ebikes, the Dogood Zero (quadricycle) and maybe the Dacia Spring (electric car) but when basic mini Chinese cars arrive, ones which can keep up with all urban traffic, such as the Geely Panda and Wuling Mini, everything else will look too expensive for what it is, at least so long as prices stay so high. Velomobile and quadricycle transport isn't just about moving individual people to identical jobs and doing shopping trips. I would urge manufacturers to focus on our diversity, creating vehicles which fit a lot more than the driver/rider. Fitting passengers can be important, of course, but the extra space might be needed to fit a tool kit or a double bass instead. There are ten of thousands of different jobs and hobbies. Let's embrace the needs of the people who do these assorted things by making versatile vehicles!
Where will they be parked or left at night nobody who lives in a Victorian house can have one unless they have a garage you can't leave them in your garden they will get stolen I love them but I can't see it
I spoke to the company when it was announced. I pointed out that I could buy a used Nissan Leaf AND a Quest velomobile for that price, but they were adamant that the price reflected their 'unique technology'. Absolute nonsense. They will probably sell a few as gimmick fleet vehicles to local authorities etc...but I don't see consumers buying them.
The Cabrio velo needs a steering wheel and it would look right. But to address all of these, they are way too expensive, one or two of them look kind of ok ish but the price is ridiculously high. I predict the first company that brings out something that looks good at a price that is affordable and they will clean up, all these things are 6 grand 10 grand and so on, simply puts them out of the reach of the average cyclist, and at the price of them, makes them highly steal able, virtually no security devices on them and a super expensive price. So bring out a version that is around 2 grand looks good gives good range and less pedalling and they may just be what some are looking for. I bought an electric bike it cost less than 500 pounds and It has gone around 700 miles in 3 to 4 months I added extra range at a cost of 200 pounds, I was not a cycling person more motorcycling, I'm not fit at all, so my point is if these people want people to use these things the price has to be right and the range has to be upgradable, extras at a reasonable price. Oh and cycling was a thing I loved to do when I was a lot younger, the price excludes young people, but the effort you have to put in to make them go means you need to be young to make them go, a miss match of values. Less effort, lower price, bigger range, and a little thought on security.
There have been 'self-build' kits for velomobiles around for a long time (thus reducing cost), and slotting an electric-motor-wheel in to make the commute easier has been a popular mod. Just enter Self Build Kit for Velomobiles into a search-engine ... have a notepad and a cup of tea/coffee handy first though : ), there are lots out there.
@@alfnoakes392 It's good to know this stuff, but I wonder how many people would be willing to buy and pay thousands of pounds to build their own Ford fiesta or Jag the point being, most people want something ready to go, they don't have the space to mix chemicals or have parts laid all over the place, they want to see a reasonably priced gizmo and just go with it and if they like it they may sell their old one and up grade to something better later on. But yes for some a home build is good, though most wouldn't due to space or other reasons. Just as a thought you can buy a state of the art escooter capable of going 60 mph for around 2.5 grand these velo's will probably go the legal limit of around 15 mph or a bit more with effort and cost 6 to 15 grand, ok you won't get wet other than from sweating like mad from all the hard work, but that's a pretty expensive umbrella don't you think.

The amount of energy you have to expend to get these bikes is unbelievable. Seems there’s always a “but wait there’s more” moment.
Good feedback. Thanks!
Are any of these available for Sale in California 🇺🇸
Arcimoto might be a good brand to start with.
Where can I buy the Swedish Podride?
In Europe.
The add motor M360 would make for a good travel bike on moderate terrain. You could easily add a small bed roll just behind the handlebars. Then load the basket with your other supplies. Not so sure about the low hanging chain though. If the tension arm moves towards the front of the bike. Hitting a solid object could really mess it up.

If these are manufactured in South Asia, their costs and pricing will be 1/10-1/8th of the current actuals

The price is steep for sure.
Great feedback. Glad you spoke with the company.
They are too heavy. Too much heavy cabin on most and the prize should not be more than 3 times a bike (electric or regular).
The Cabrio velo needs a steering wheel and it would look right.
But to address all of these, they are way too expensive, one or two of them look kind of ok ish but the price is ridiculously high.
I predict the first company that brings out something that looks good at a price that is affordable and they will clean up, all these things are 6 grand 10 grand and so on, simply puts them out of the reach of the average cyclist, and at the price of them, makes them highly steal able, virtually no security devices on them and a super expensive price.
So bring out a version that is around 2 grand looks good gives good range and less pedalling and they may just be what some are looking for.
I bought an electric bike it cost less than 500 pounds and It has gone around 700 miles in 3 to 4 months I added extra range at a cost of 200 pounds, I was not a cycling person more motorcycling, I'm not fit at all, so my point is if these people want people to use these things the price has to be right and the range has to be upgradable, extras at a reasonable price.
Oh and cycling was a thing I loved to do when I was a lot younger, the price excludes young people, but the effort you have to put in to make them go means you need to be young to make them go, a miss match of values.
Less effort, lower price, bigger range, and a little thought on security.
Very valid points. Thanks for sharing!
There have been 'self-build' kits for velomobiles around for a long time (thus reducing cost), and slotting an electric-motor-wheel in to make the commute easier has been a popular mod. Just enter Self Build Kit for Velomobiles into a search-engine ... have a notepad and a cup of tea/coffee handy first though : ), there are lots out there.
@@alfnoakes392 It's good to know this stuff, but I wonder how many people would be willing to buy and pay thousands of pounds to build their own Ford fiesta or Jag the point being, most people want something ready to go, they don't have the space to mix chemicals or have parts laid all over the place, they want to see a reasonably priced gizmo and just go with it and if they like it they may sell their old one and up grade to something better later on.
But yes for some a home build is good, though most wouldn't due to space or other reasons.
Just as a thought you can buy a state of the art escooter capable of going 60 mph for around 2.5 grand these velo's will probably go the legal limit of around 15 mph or a bit more with effort and cost 6 to 15 grand, ok you won't get wet other than from sweating like mad from all the hard work, but that's a pretty expensive umbrella don't you think.
