There isn't much of a risc in people not seeing you. It's the double take effect that is the biggest risc. Drivers see you and have to take a double take and wonder what it is they are seeing. Kinda like when the first cars were put on the road.
It happens to me a lot here. You see them take a double take.

@yourpsychic actually they will. mainly because of it's size: it's alot bigger than normal bikes and maybe some other velomobiles. I'm also sure in bight yellow, red, neon green, or orange that would also help being seen.

Riding one of these on a bike trail would be great but on a street make sure you have extra insurance because the motorists are not going to see you. Sure suicide!

The hand-built body is very labour-intensive and I guess that the bodywork alone costs as much as all the other parts together (apart from the electric assist parts, like hub motor and battery). The HPV-world is still waiting for a company that is willing and able to invest in developing a mass-produced velomobile.

what are the most costly parts of the product?

Earthlings: It might be a fortune on money, but a few months ago when gas was 5 bucks a gallon -- a 25 gallon tank adds up for the average amount of gas a person uses in a year. I think it would quickly compensate.
Info about the velomobiles we carry can be found on our "bluevelo" website. We are also now producing a model called the Team. With current exchange rates it is priced at about $6,200 US.
