Technical Concept of the Cab-Bike Velomobile

    • The modular construction of the cab-bike allows to enjoy the bike in any kind of weather. 

    • The Cab-Bike can easily be converted to a cabrio, to a pickup or to a racing-velomobile.

    • It is light and can be pedalled almost everywhere. 

    • Best aerodynamics have been implemented to minimize air resistance. Low weight and small frontal area also mean lower energy consumption. 

    • Best protection against weather conditions means that the Cab-Bike can be used all the year around.

    • Due to the electric motor assistance (optional) acceleration is very good, and safety in traffic is improved. climbing hills is easier.
