Ride Data

Total distance ridden so far: 1700km
Top speed (down hill): up to about 80km/h (see more details above)

The velomobile is very stable at high speeds. I had to replace my first set of brake pads on the disc brakes at 1300km. This is most likely due to the higher speeds with the motor assist and extra weight of the batteries.

A distant cousin of the Yellow Velo?

This is slightly unrelated to the Yellow Velo - but I recently met a distanct cousin of my velo:
The two guys below have built a tandem velomobile out of cedar strips, and are touring across Canada, giving presentations at Elementary schools along the way about global warming. Since I recently also took my velomobile to an elementary school to discuss global warming and alternative transportation, we had an interesting conversation.

I would just like to say - amazing project and good luck to you both!
