Things I've done to improve the Bülk riding position
I wasn't happy with the Bülk riding position, so I had to make little tweaks to make it more comfortable.

Great video!
no uphills, blessed terrains! from South Korea
Can't someone just steal it if you walk away and leave it parked?
4kg!!!!! holy crap.... my disc breaks r already weighing me down adding 2kg 😂 best weight reduction tip for fat bikers like me weighing 100kg: lose 20kg.... 🤣🤣🤣
That was still awesome.
Surprised you say a high racer style is easier to balance, I would assume the low CofG of a lower style would be better
Berapa harga dalam wujud uang indonesia ya??
You did well! This was not a failure in any way!
I'd love to fit one of these with a 1kw electric motor 😅
Unfortunately I think the only way I could afford one of these is if I built it myself. 😅
just do pullups and lateral raises for the shoulders and you wont need shoulder support.
I had an "internal hub" British 3 speed that I rode 10 miles a day in all weather for 10 years - six months of hard winter in northern Midwest. I never realized why I never needed maintenance! How lucky was I to have an internal hub gear. hahahaha. That bike was only $20 used and not $10,000 new like a Velomobile.
This is very good, that the parts are not stainless steel, because stainless steel can break. Normal Steel gets a bit of rost, but this kind of steel is much more durable and does not break easy.
I’m shopping for a velo. I wish every review could be as informative as this. But I especially wish that every review gave me the pleasure of listening to you speak. Your voice is beautiful.
I had one try to run me off the road and crash their car in the process. They told the cops and eventually their lawyer that I pushed their car off the road. They freaked out when they found out that a cop briefly stopped me after they made their claims, and inspected my vehicle to discover it was just a bicycle. But they still tried to pursue the lawsuit. By the end, they ended up paying me forty grand for legal bills, lost wages, and harassment. And that was with me trying desperately to drop it all and not seeking any compensation.
Also pro tip. Its better to have charged your battery to 100% and not use all of it than charge it to something like 60 and run out. Battery health is decreased a lot more when you drain it to zero than if you went all the way to 100% Keeping the battery at zero or at 100% for too long will kill it faster. But if you charge to 100 and use it the same day that is better than running out completely
honestly i would just use the normal roads than bike paths really
I feel like velomobiles were made for Winter riding. All the grime and muck. + The protection from wind and cold. You stay warmer in a velo than any other bike due to the enclosed nature.
They should make aerodynamic lightweight carbon fiber saddlebags/storage compartments that could mount to each side toward the rear. As big as they could be without being impractical. I would love a 250 to 750w pedal assist electric one. For 16 mile rides into town. Wish I could afford one.
As someone with experience in many velomobiles which would you recommend for a 6 ft 220 pound rider that wants to daily commute? I good balance of speed and turning capability.
500 KM Just to do that conversion is INSANE!. That guy is proving real service
Your cycle computer seems especially suited to the radar, but it doesn’t show the brand. What computer do you use/recommend for the Garmin?
My computer is Wahoo Elmnt Bolt (1st gen). Newer models get more features. I’ve heard new Wahoo models can even remote control the light setting on the radar unit.
Thanks
Pros: leaf spring suspension; storage in front(ventilation?); steering setup(racecar grips with controls and computer between); outrigger wheels suggests narrower body for reduced drag, rear view camera so less drag from mirrors. Cons: on other video I saw, the chain and cartridge on rear wheel are exposed to elements; needs fenders on wheels… and the rest were discussed already. I’m excited about what’s available in current models, because the door is wide open for something truly amazing with all these great features to arrive. Hopefully built in North America, because the import costs are so high.
🎉😂❤

@TheVelomobileChannel Saukki, is the Bülk so much wider at the shoulders than the Milan? I only have one pad either side at the shoulders. I do have to put 6 pads behind the seat for the right angle though, and moved the seat back one mounting slot on a 5-position seat bracket I got from Johan @ HoVelo. I ride with a helmet though, so I am using a small Ventisit pad on the QV (Barney) and nothing at the moment on Mint Sauce (Milan GT).
I don’t know about the Milan GT, but the Bülk definietly is much wider than the Milan SL.
@@TheVelomobileChannel Are you going to have a Name Competition for your Bûlk, like you did for Viper and Voyager?
Siis onko sulla nyt kaksi kinneriä?
Bro!! Where you been , glad your all good homie!
I really liked watching you ride in the rain. You are so much more comfortable and drier than me on a day like that which normally I would just skip. If I had a velomobile I would not mind riding in those conditions. Also I think your speed was good given the non optimal road conditions.
Creatve idea.
So what you recommend
I used a pool noodle to wrap around behind my neck. It works great.
Thank you for giving me actuall information about these. I am planning on making an all weather pedal powered vehical and velo's seemed the way to go. I am going to focus a bit more on internal comfort and stability over speed.
I use closed cell foam (from electronics packaging) for comfort/support in my velomobile; neck rest and under the Ventisit seat pad for a custom fit. You can glue velcro to the back of the foam for easy replacement after cleaning and you can shape it with a knife. Maybe that would work for you. Love your channel!
I have no money😢🥲
I've had my QV+ for about 6 weeks now and I can say your observations about the first ride were spot on!
You did great off road. Maybe one day the Tour Divide?
if your fixed in seating position the suspension and so the wheeltrack pick up your movement, if your chin is pressing your neck is going to feel bad
A few weeks ago I thought about you going so silent. Good to see, you're still there. 🙂 I even watched the video immediately, despite my 1 month backlog. 😄
still alive then......
Nice to see you back again. I've spent hours watching your videos for research, information and of course, entertainment, when I was contemplating getting and finally ordered my own Quatrevelo .. and I must say, frickin' well spent money. Haven't had this much fun cycling in over a decade. Thank you for excellent videos and content. :-)
Reticulated foam might be cooler. Thank you the videos.
I got a ventisit pad for my neck for my Bulk.
we want more! :)
Try RainX on the windscreen to shed rain. See how it works. Might even repel fogging on the side windows.
A pleasure seeing your video in my feed.
What happened with Quatrovelo? And good to see you back.
Nothing. It’s still in the garage 😄
Yes, good to see you're back! Did you ever fit the windshield wiper to you QV? I have one now and was wondering how well it worked with the QV visor.
Haha, this is exactly what I did yesterday! I just used thicker foam rubber. Will you do more videos in future? Best regards!
Yay!! Welcome back. Need more velomobile content in my life, thanks 😊
