I used to have a Mango Plus - variant of the Mango Sport you rode in. A very nice ride, pretty easy to get up to speed. I have since gone back to the Leitra velomobile style because it's easier to get in and out of, tighter turning radius, and larger cargo capacity. *And* you sit up a bit more for improved visibility. If you want to experience the aero of a velomobile but not get rid of your trike, there are body kits like the Leitra Wildcat that you can attach/detach to your trike for weather protection and a bit of aerodynamic improvement.
Hi Matt. I rode a Rotovelo in the U.K. In 2018 during my visit there. Unfortunately where I stay we do not have the Roads, Cycle lanes or the Driver Mentality to ride one. They are cool and fun.
When I grew up in the Netherlands, you'd see these velomobiles quite a bit, but never rode one, but seems like a lot of fun! I'm wondering how much weight that shell adds on average? When you showed the inside it looks like carbon fiber is used? Then it would be pretty light? But not sure, they do seem a little heavier than usual trikes
what? you've never been in a velomobile until now? 😰 just imagine how safe and fast your 'around the world' tour would be if you had something like that Mango.
@@JaYoeNation not a problem. most velomobiles have *at least* as much cargo carrying space as your trike, if not more. next time you are at SPEZI, I'll show you all the best velomobiles for long distance touring.
have you ever rode a velomobile? what do you think?
I haven't but I would love to get one for riding around North-Central Indiana as a replacement for a car.

Always gain a few lbs every time I cross the Wisconsin state line. Everyone always well fed and happy there.
Much in the way of suspension it has all-round independent suspension
"Yellow Submarine" velomobile looks pretty cool.
I love this velomobile. How fun! I would love to try one.
First time to see a velomobile, nice.
VERY COOL
Looks like soap box derby.
You wear it well!!! 🎉

@@JimmPratt haha. Where would I put all my stuff?!
@@JaYoeNation In your velo camper trailer of course.

No poutine in Wisconsin?!?
It's just for street use, right?
Yes, just bike paths and road with speeds up to 35 mph 55kg no motor. Some rider even up to 60 kg’s
