Basics
- A minimalist Velomobile made from a bicycle
- Uses an All Wheel Drive Bicycle of either the mechanical or mechanical-electric design
- Has a mostly enclosed fiberglass or carbon fiber aerodynamic shell
- The shell aides aerodynamics, while also providing protection fromm the sun and rain (Which solves many of the commuting Problems of PTVs or Bicycles)
- The two wheeled design resembbles a large bicyle or cargo bike and thus can access more places than a full Velomobile or Open Source Golf Cart
- The mechanical or mechanical-electric design keeps cost down by requiring no fuel, and less electricity or none at all than other options
Industry Standards
Existing Open Source Designs
