Velomobiles are basically an aerodynamic bicycle enclosed from the elements. Wikipedia says its one of the most efficient forms of transportation. An electric petal-assist velomobile seems like a great solution so why are they so difficult and expensive to purchase? Why haven’t many people heard of them?
It’s better than a car, but one of the main appeals of a bike is that it takes up so little space. Most people, if they were going to abandon their cars, would opt for a regular or electric bike.
