I don't know why roofed bikes and bike-caravans have appealed to me so much for years. They are expensive and take up a lot of space at home. I probably won't buy one. And yet I'm always looking to see what's new in this area.
They would be handy in spring and autumn. So here's my list which velomobiles are available with a roof:
- Quadvelo https://www.quadvelo.com/
- Podbike https://www.podbike.com/
- BAYK https://bayk.ag/newsticker/
- Onomotion https://onomotion.com/blog/
- Citkar https://www.mubea-umobility.com/insights/blog
- Hopper https://hopper-mobility.com/
And which may be ready for series production in 2025:
- ELF https://organictransit.com/ (Study according to "Das MÖ")
- Pedilio https://www.pedilio.de/
- iris https://www.grantsinclair.com/product-page/iris-etrike-electric-vehicle
- Twike https://twike.com/
- Veemo SE https://veemo.ca/
In my opinion, it would be enough for a cargo-bike manufacturer to offer an optional roof like the one built by "Ekki Mobil". (picture in title) A cargo-bike with a box at the front would be ideal. It would also be much cheaper than any of the velomobiles listed above. What do you think about it?
Poor OP wants to talk about practical sheltered velocipedes and we won't stop talking about the thumbnail photo.
I'm ok with this. Here ist the source for the thumbnail picture: https://youtu.be/yXujcmVfrJE
I like the fill of details and the dialect.
