Velomobile Ride on a Sunny Winter Day

We had this very nice and beautiful winter day, so I went for a ride with my Quattrovelo velomobile.

Thank you for that nice ride! I enjoyed the drone-shots. All the best, Torge

[oliverw.]

Really nice video. Makes it a bit easier to stay home. But also makes you want to go there and see it for yourself. Maybe someday!

[rulzscycle]

You are the great snowy Velomobile Climber of the Norse!

[christianschulz]

The traction of two driven rear wheels is amazing. I had only one trip in similar winter conditions. But with the wrong rear tyre and the wheel house full of snow, it was a little exhausting - and very slow.

Great video and very cold 🥶 to, anyway besafe and take care Saukki.

Wow! What a majestic country side!!! So beautiful! I love your drone shots

[alistairriggs]

lovely views and shots with the drone great ride thamks for the ride

[MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Holy crap, Saukki! -8ºC is not good weather for me! LoL!

[blubaughmr]

The Mountain Drive is turning out to have been a very good decision!

[trabusas.]

You Sir, live in a wonderful part of the World, even in winter. I hope one day I get to visit your Country. Stay Safe!!! Greetings from the Netherlands Akko

[reikofujiko]

Very interesting. I never thought about riding in snow or the difficulties it might involve.

[jensumayer]

Beautiful footage. Amazing that the Quattro can handle this at all.

[Room-]

Pretty hard to ride, but pretty nice to view - snow...

[AlveHenricson]

Beautiful! Nice memories ;)
It will end up with you buying a second velomobile with e-assist for winter use. :)

[jonathanwuyts]

Saukki, How on earth do you ride the velomobile on a steep hill and on the same time capture a beautiful drone-shot from yourself below? 😀

[themilehightriker]

Another great video Saukki. A nearly cloudless sky and crunchy snow that's not too deep. What more can you ask for? We have such days here in Colorado too, but my Trident doesn't do so hot for traction with a single rear wheel.

[komen]

Nice video Saukki. What drone do you use to the tracking video parts? Your video is getting better and better. Keep up the good work! 👍😉

[vaterchenfrost]

I'm impressed, that you've gotten from your garage door to the road trough this snow. I'm guessing, this is the advantage of distributing the power over two tracks - if one wheel lose traction, the other one might still have some of it. Furthermore, I'm assuming you have no differential drive between your rear wheels. On my Gekko (a three-wheeler) I'm having difficulties to move through a similar snow depth. Especially to start moving, ones stopped, or by slightest uphill grade (3% upwards). I was considering to use spiked tires, but any advantage there is overruled by a number of disadvantages.

Well I think that winter velomobiles need some electric power. 1 kw bbshd would make you so fast :D

[ATGL]

What is the front-to-rear weight distribution in the configuration you riding today ?
