I'm not quite sure how ‘Envo’ from Canada came up with the idea of having the semi-enclosed vehicle built for the EU by ‘Geobike’ in Poland. But I'm pleased that things are moving forward at all on this topic.

If the price stays below 7500,- EUR, I could well imagine the bike for commuting from autumn to spring, for pensioners, or for families with child trailers.

WTF. "Three-wheel bicycle?" It's a called a trike!

I chance it from "bicycle" to "vehicle" so it matches with the text in the article.

I've heard that 3-wheeled vehicles are very difficult to balance. You'll have to go extremely slow when turning.

Depends on the vehicle. A slingshot can probably go faster than a Spyder, but they both can go really fast

Depends on how wide it is and if the tires lean into the curve. With a Piaggio MP3 you can easily do 80 kph in a curve.

Not only on how wide, but how much weight is on the two-wheel axle.

That looks weird. I'd love to see it live.

[–] Zoldyck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd love to try this out. High price though

For the enclosed velomobiles 'Veemo SE' is the cheapest I know.

  • 'Hopper' starts at 12T EUR
  • 'Quadvelo' at 10-14T EUR and
  • 'IRIS eTrike' should be 10T EUR. (not sure if 'IRIS eTrike' is really ready for series production, or if it's a scam)
