Getting in and out of a Quest velomobile

It may look hard to do, but it is not. Just place your buttocks on the rear of the hole. Lift your legs over the side and slide in. As you can see ... I am tall and stiff, so I need to help my legs a bit. ;^)

How much was it in your country's currency? Fastest speed you've gone in? Is it really that "efficient" compared to a normal bicycle? Is it difficult going up hill? How much cargo does it have, enough to hold a school backpack?

[nestofdragons]

A new one cost about 6000 euro ... or more. I could do 40 km/h constant speed with it. I got top of 53 km/h on flat ground. A student of me got 62 km/h out of it on flat ground.

Yes, it is surely more efficient as a regular bike. You don't feel affected by headwind.

The entire shell beside the rear wheel can be used as cargobay. I backpack will not fit as it is too wide. But two sacks will fit left and right into the body.

Access is through entryhole. Trunklid made could be solution.

oh yea, since i live in Toronto, it rains quite often, how do u deal with rain and snow in the Quest?

[nestofdragons]

Rain is no problem with the cover. Only your head gets wet. I once rode through a rainstorm and only got wet head and a bit shoulders. That was ALL.

Snow ...sorry ...cannot tell...never rode in snow.

[nestofdragons]

I forgot to tell. Currently they have a kind of roof (dismountable) to protect more against rain.

By any chance do you know where I can get more information on this dismountable roof for the Quest?

[nestofdragons]

go see this sit. it has hazbro in the middle. the usual 3w at the front and the classic com at the end. If I write it down otherwise, it will be deleted by youtube. So ...I hope you get the site. Are several pictures there and text in english.

OK THANKS.

[nestofdragons]

The bottom of the Waw is wider as it is a flat bottom. Quest is more rounded. But in both I never felt narrow seated.

Quest is fastest in my opinion. Waw best looking. Quest has rear suspension too. Waw not. It comes like always on personal choice. Anyway ...I like both.

[adrianrubi]

thanks. is the WAW as wide inside as the quest? is it as fast?
