Velomobiling Guide

The Velomobiling site Gallery features Velomobile Albums including Aerorider, Alligt Alleweder, Aurora, Berkut, Birk Butterfly, Cab-Bike, C-Alleweder, Flevo Alleweder (FAW), Go-one, Leiba, Leitra, Limit, Mango, Quest, Sunrider, Versatile, and WAW, with a miscellaneous album for limited-edition and home-built velomobiles, including La Fleche. "Building a Velomobile" showcases velomobile construction projects. Velomobile Circus celebrates wild and colorful velomobile designs.

The quick velomobile overview page is up again in English en in het nederlands.

They're still incomplete, but the Velomobile Comparison Tables are far enough along to mention here.

We've assembled some links to 2-person velomobiles, 2-wheel velomobiles, tandem recumbents, side-by-side and back-to-back tandem bikes and trikes. Whether you want two-person, two-wheel, multi-rider, or some other variation on the human-powered vehicle, we've tried to include it.

From any page on the site, just click the header photo of the velomobile in the tulips to return to the home page. On the "book" pages, it looks like this:

Original site

The original Velomobiling.net site will be closed down and merged with this site some time in 2007. (If that link brings you back here, it's already happened). We are creating archives of the articles and "blocks." Velomobile information, articles, event announcements, and links related to human-powered vehicles will be appearing on this Drupal version of the velomobiling site.

For articles and reviews on velomobiles, velomobile-building, and velomobiling (in English and Dutch), from the original site see the Archives list. paginas in het nederlands

Velomobiles & Velomobiling


For Enthusiasts: surf through the events albums for pictures of velomobile events, or click on the photos below for individual velomobile albums. We've moved an earlier version of the photo page to this site, and it also links to Gallery pages and manufacturer websites.

For Buyers: is a velomobile right for you? See "Should I Buy a Velomobile?". For a discussion of velomobile pricing, see "Why do Velomobiles Cost so Much?" General recommendations on buying a velomobile at: "So You're Thinking of Buying a Velomobile. What Next?". The old Table of Rider/Load Information didn't cover many of the areas that people wanted to know about, so we have started a new, expanded table of velomobile data, and we are inviting manufacturers and riders to help us fill in the blanks.

For home-builders: we've added John Tetz' latest report on his Zotefoam velomobile, which also has links to his detailed reports on building the trike and fairing, and other home-built projects are featured in the Gallery. Fred's account of building an Alligt Alleweder from a kit has been moved from the old site.

History: velomobile development has been most active during times of high fuel prices, other shortages, or social disruption. The Great Depression, World War II and the post-war years, the Arab Oil Embargo of the 1970's, and recent European conditions of high fuel prices and intense traffic congestion. During these times, small, pedal-powered vehicles have flourished. (under construction)

Reviews: Tony Eastwood's Five Velomobile Review is the now available in an easier-to-read form, and we welcome other velomobile reviews.

Weblinks: (under construction) -- see the extensive collection of velomobile and other links on the old site.

The "Content" from the old site is all here now. We will integrate most of it into this new site, but as we do that, some of the articles are being updated. For articles that were translated into Dutch or German, we are saving a copy of the earlier version. For the index page of these Archives, click here.
