velomobile survey

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Hi folks,

I am looking into the viability/feasibility of starting a company to manufacture a velomobile of Dutch design under license here in the US. A velomobile is a type of human powered vehicle that offers significant weather and crash protection and cargo carrying capacity through use of a composite shell. The machine we aim to produce also permits substantially greater speeds (or equivalent speeds with less effort) through a carefully designed aerodynamically efficient shape. The use of three wheels also provides greater stability in marginal weather conditions.



I’ve set up an on-line survey to help assess the potential market for these machines in North America as part of this effort. As cyclists, I value your feedback and hope that you will take a few minutes to complete the survey which is located at: www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=721561228701 (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=721561228701)



If you’d like to learn more about velomobiles in general, please visit my website at www.velomobiles.net (http://www.velomobiles.net/).



Thanks for your participation.

I for one would be interested in something like that. However, that being said,
I wont shell out thousands so that I can have a pedal car... for me to be
interested in it it must be about the cost of a low end "road bike". somewhere
between 600-1000.00 $ for me to consider it...
