Velomobile luggage capacity
Velomobile luggage capacity is hard to measure, because it's often behind or below the seat, and large riders lose luggage space.  The Alleweder "A3" is the Alligt Alleweder prior to 2006 (often available used);  the A4 and A5 have more luggage space.  Older Flevobike Alleweders (sometimes called "A2") may differ from the US version being produced by VelomobileUSA.
