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?
Unless you are on a highway a velomobile is not slower than a car. Especially in cities where bikes can overtake cars at traffic lights and take shortcuts that are closed to cars.
