=========================

Velocar was the name given to velomobiles made in the 1930s and 1940s by Mochet et Cie of Puteaux, France and colloquially to the company's recumbent bicycles.

Charles Mochet was the inventive maker of lightweight powered cyclecars (Le P'tit Auto) and pedal-powered cars (quadricycles), mainly two-seaters, built on a tubular-steel chassis with bicycle-sized wheels, variable gears, and aerodynamic bodywork, in effect a faired-in "sociable". The popularity of the little cars declined in the late 1930s as cheaper, powered cars became available, only to rise rapidly when petrol became almost unobtainable during World War II, 1939–1945.

Sorry for the Inconvenience for narration, let's fix everything soon.

$17, 000 for a bicycle with a would have to be smoking some serious Hooch to pay that.

[olegg]

A very good choice. The people who designed and built all these machines, I am of the same spirit with you.

If anyone is interested, the license plate at 5:30 on the right hand side is a real automotive plate for the State of Michigan, it was issued in 1976 in celebration of America's 200th year of independence. We called them "bicentennial plates".

... as member of the velomobile commuity since the 90th and velomobile producer in the 00-years I have seen so many realy fantastic electric concepts and start ups with low energy consumption comming ... and going (with more or less active 'support' from then automotive industry) ... Hotzenblitz, CityEl, Loremo, Twike, velomos from $4 to 10k ... suitable for nearly all low- und midrange transport jobs ... moving them generates exciting reactions everywhere ... but when it comes to buy ... human beings seem to love and go for $50k, 2.5 tonns city 4x4 monster trucks ...

9.06-9.08 seeing his knee get so close to the bolt and sympathetically shivering just knowing that's caused the guy a bunch of pain

[FantomsNephew]

Woop, woop! Fantoms Nephew is still up and running as daily commute. Still beeing primarily a fun project the share of comments around climate benefits are increasing.🤔
However, I think every man actually would like to go to work by pedal car, just for the fun of it.😁

[HarborLockRoad]

I came up with the idea of a large clockwork - like mainspring mechanism, so you only need to pedal occasionally.

[JayHeartwing]

I wish I have a lot of tools and materials to make my own velomobile too.

I want it to be still light, and weather proof, but still promising speed and performance in a minimum rider effort.

[kjm-chjc]

Love to these on busy city streets without getting squashed.

[fuhkoffandie]

Northern Light 428, hands down the best one on the list. A nice balance of price and function, this one just can't be beat. The one that's got the mahogany body, that's a work of art, , and you can't put a price on that, this thing is absolutely beautiful. But, once again, the Northern Light 428 gets my vote, hands down. Starting at 3, 000 something? OMG what a deal. Now.. where do I sign? I'll take two of them, please.😎👍💯💯💯

[fuhkoffandie]

That work of art, the bike that looks like a Chris-Craft boat, well the Chris Craft is really expensive and it's a work of art. That things in the same class. Nice job my friend. And artwork get the price tag from whatever someone's willing to pay for it. I have no doubt, 20K euros, easily.

[danjames]

I've been in the market for a non-fuel, partially covered mode of transport for years.
The trouble is they are so niche, they usually rely on startup business models...with the risk yiu will never actually get your machine.
Then there's individuality...each manufacturer making their own bespoke parts, which will be hard to source if the company fails.

[corbinauddavid]

Tous ces concepts sont vraiment incroyable. J'aime beaucoup.

[kevinbwillson]

Beautiful each one after another all lovely

I wish I had 2-3 months off of work and the money to pay bills while I build the 2nd version of my 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steer pedal kart. I’ve looked all over the internet and I’ve found nothing like my design. It should be fantastic for climbing hills. My design allows for full 4 wheel lock. I built one in 2016 using 1” perforated steel tube which made it very heavy. I had to stop working on it after a return of Lyme disease. Anyone within 200 miles of Saint Paul Minnesota have 1” square tube aluminum to sell inexpensively. Preferably 1/8” wall.

With availability to go as an ebike in the bike Lane in the US, a free drive chainless system and smart tires, perhaps the Sonos solar charging system, we'd place an order for at least one. FernHay has a good idea with the e-bike miniature UPS trucks too

[treavy]

Check out the peble from better bike a safe economic ebike for the future made from plant fiber and can go 100 miles on a single charge

[jonzacha]

LITERALLY CAN BUY A CAR AT THESE PRICES

[justincase]

Hmm. Adult sized pedal cars. Very cute.
