I've seen pics of them, but haven't seen one in person either. Look neat, though...just not real practical for a family with kids from what I've seen. Hopefully they'll improve that some day.

Velomobile?Some weird looking Critters.
Friend of mine has one without the Enclosure,just the Tricycle,Electric-motor powered,pedaling to get anywhere and also to recharge the Battery.
Got to ask him to put a Body on that Thing.

Yeah, sorta! That's what I thought too, especially with a few of those pics!Anyway, it's just not practical for long distance transportation, and where I live, a lot of things are a bit of a distance up and down hills.

Same here...where I live...one hit and you'd be creamed in one of those things....Especially on the highway....

I have a straight shot to the grocery store about two miles
away but I would be afraid that it might be gone when I
was finished shopping It would be too darn hard to
resist taking for somebody I would bet.

Yeah and all they would have to do is load it in the back of a truck....

A few was made in Sweden by crafty people. Never tried one though, it looks like a interesting position to ride a bike

Agreed...that's another downside. And yes, Hugz, same with the highways here. This would not survive an accident well, nor go fast enough.

I like the idea that people are trying to come up
with alternative types of transportation. Cities
will need to make adjustments for pathways for
slower vehicles, perhaps. (?)

Yes, my ex-husband is working on a working prototype right now.
It's an enclosed bicycle and it's also solar powered like his previous neighborhood solar vehicle kit.
