The signal lights are even good visible in sunlight. At this moment 4x2signal lights come with the Quest (that is when you have ordered signal lights)
A velomobile usually has three wheels for practical reasons like stability and safety. A two-wheeled streamliner is to prone to being blown off the road.
Oh, I had no idea. Never heard of a velomobile, although I have seen bicycles enclosed in fibreglass (?) shell like the one above but only from a distance. THank you for the information.
Very interesting video, Twilwel.Your customer must have been very impressed. I really enjoyed watching you fly by those wind generators and the night scenes near the end. Thank you for posting to our recumbent group.
Leuk! Long ago I delivered a report to my boss at his house, by recumbent. That was 70 km cycling. After writing the report, i thought a bit of cycling would be a good exercise. We should do such things more often! It is more healthy and more fun.
Twilwel, your videos are inspiring, The trike I recently rebuilt used to be a velomobile, and once I tune in a little more stability at speed, will again enclose it.
That is one heck of a delivery, and its the night video is good to see. Of course the drivers in Europe are probably not quite as insane as those here in the states..
I had two B&M IQ Speed lights, but I mostly run only one. I can direct the lightbeam up and down, like standard on Quest and Mango. The Speed has a very long battery time.
Arjen has the standard Inoled Extreme. Both Extreme and Speed have a beam that does not blind the oncoming traffic. Arjens' battery was fading so quickly that I lended him my Lupine Wilma lamp with capacious Li-ion battery. The Wilma is a very powerful lamp (as you can see), but the beam is round and blinding.
Great service! I don't expect you guys to deliver any parts to me by velomobile ;)
Is the music by Phillip Glass? It sounds like it could be.

This is still one of my favorite Velomobile videos. I love the night scenes, and I love the distance traveled.

I always enjoy watching this video.
How visible are the turn signal lights during the day time?
Thank you H@rry for putting up with all my questions, past and present.
Delivery date for my Quest is October of 2009.
I can't wait.....(-;

How does the bicycle stand up when it's not moving?

I will be placing an order for a Quest next week.
Can you give me some details about the lights?
How bright is the head light and tail light?
How long will the battery last?
Many Thanks

Great Video. I love the text narration. You have successfully given me the desire to get a velomobile.

Goh, leuk per fiets bezorgt. Kom binnen kopje koffie, kopje soep? Ik hoop dat de klant wat gastvrijer was dan hij overkwam?

We hebben uren gekletst, gegeten en gedronken hoor. Niet voor niets was het al ruimschoots na zonsondergang voor we weer in Nederland waren.

Arjen spreekt Duits, dat heb ik ook nog nooit gehoord :-)
Leuk video en leuk idee met de velomobiel koeriers!

Ha, een reactie van de hoofdrolspeler/geel-met-schrammen-Questrijder. Bij de info heb ik nu de bron van de muziek vermeld hoor.

That was awesome! Great Video
A fun adventure.
I saw Arjen's picture when investigating the Quest.
His Quest is the desk top on my computer.
Tell me about the lighting system on the Quests.
