There goes that 'new car smell'! 🥴
This guy is the best, very real and genuinely honest.
You are right! This is exactly what i think about his way to present his velomobiles and bikes
Fun!
Velomobiles fanatic!!
Nice first ride. You are enjoying it I think. Greetings from New Zealand.
And there you have the new name for your quatro: "Orange garlic" :-) .
Lol.... Perfect!
Yeah, looks like the Quattrovelo picted up its name by itself. :)
That is destiny. :D
The best saukki video in a long time... The thrilling emotional tale of a first ride in the qv. SO many ups and downs. Saukki masterfully discussed the headlight subplot and how it relates to establishing dominance both on the road and in the velonaut community by buying the qv. The everlasting dipping sauce for that niche "custom" feel that you just can't get elsewhere. Perhaps you should name it orange marinade since any meat you put in the trunk will gather garlic scent!
My favorite youtuber just got my favorite velomobile! love it!!!!
HahaHa Saukki,
I had a Banana in my Chain, that smelled a Week while riding the Highway at ROAM . You will love that Garlic Smell that makes your QV unique.
Big Thank Saukki! You made this great video despites your fatigue.
So, I was waiting for your feedback for month! I am in line for a quattrovelo, deciding on options. Hard choices. To sum up your first ride:
More confortable than Quest
More noisy than Quest bwcause of the Drivetrain
More Safer!
Feels slow on winter, but this is normal I guess. Your have quite extreme winter !
Thank you! I hope you rest well will make many more videos about your QV.
This channel needs more subscribers. No BS in his videos and always good content. One of the few you tube channels where it feels like 2 minutes and the video is over.
Nice vlog Saukki,the ending had me in stitches :)
I laughed very. 1st trip and garlic fall down in bike. 😂 + your rapid bye-bye : "I do not have time,subscribe,bye-bye,🖐️" within 3 seconds.😀 It was the best finish.
I hope your pizza was good at least.🙂
Yes it was 🍕😋
It was very much like a common Finnish finish :)
LOL with the dip, now you can say the "ship" has been baptised on its maiden journay!! Happy Hollidays !!
👍I wish you a good trip at all times.👍🤙
Nice to hear that you are glad about your new baby! I am looking forward to see about the lifetime development of your qv! Keep on entertaining in that very honest style and be aware about pizza-issues!
Hey Saukki, if you don't want your QV anymore because of the garlic sauce smell, you can send it to me! 😉
Aw man ....you beat me to it!
And me. Bastards!🤣
Now your quattrovelo is an official pizza 🍕 delivery machine and the ending of this is video is deep and epic 🤘
Love your sense of humor, man. Also love your videos!
I saw so many videos from you. In four days i get my first velomobile. A Mango 😎
Happy christmas
You have my sympathies. Garlic sauce... Still, it could have been worse. My fifth outing with my new recumbent trike this year, someone backed onto the street in front of me on my way to church, I tried to steer left and brake at the same time, bent a wheel rim and flipped myself and my trike lengthwise in front of two on-duty police officers in front of the local police detachment and was given a ride home because I could not walk and my trike could not roll. It cost almost CAN$300.00 and ten days to get it fixed and I could not ride it because I broke a rib, sprained my ankle and tore my shoulder when I landed. Really wouldnˋt have minded a bit of garlic sauce, all things considered. Congratulations on your new Quattrovelo! Merry Christmas!
Baptized in garlic. Good stuff.
Great video and very nice velo Saukki. I'm happy for you.
From Malaysia.
Your Quattro's been baptised in garlic.
Fun and great finish sens of humor! 😉
Great way to christen your Quatrovelo on your first ride. :)
Most people use champagne to christen
There new toy. Garlic must be a Finnish custom.
Congratulations on your new QV, look forward to your videos.
Have a great Christmas.
It's a Viking tradition.
My God, I want the same velomobile, Quattro! I have been waiting long time to see this video.
/Sweden
Funny. When I saw u put that sauce in there I said to myself.....That’s gonna end up all over. Other than that, enjoy your cold pizza my friend.
I wonder what I'll notice first if I go biking near Kokkola, the smell of garlic or the orange "Sipulivelo" blasting past me =P
Saukki! Congratulations! I would have enjoyed this episode, for the garlic sauce alone! 😁 In my view, Loki stepped-in to help. "What, no Chistening, of the Quattrovelo, with champagne? " "OK, Saukki, now we do it my way (garlic sauce), SPLATT" "Ha Ha Ha!". You invoked the Trickster, my friend! 🎃
I don’t see the quattrovelo being a speed machine but rather a good versatile all-rounder.
Also the more stable / safer one. 3 wheeler is much less stable.
Awesome channel- I think I’m going to buy one cz of your videos
Its nice that you dont have to take the hood off.. just raise it on the hinges👍😏
To get rid of some noise I did cover bottom under seat, pocket sides and rear part with some kind of 5 mm insulation (syllisolering in Swedish). This material is also protecting the carbon fibre if you have metals in the pockets, etc.
I did also cut 12 mm insulation mat to fit inside the hood. It takes away some noise and converts the hood into a helmet.
The 360 tires are very, very slow …
The cover for foot holes is a pain to mount because they should have “nut rivets” installed (Mutternit). After mounting the “nut rivets” it is very easy ( www.biltema.se/verktyg/handverktyg/nitverktyg/nittanger/mutternitsats-2000016802 ). But I do recommend not to mount nuts in the front. Better to use Velcro in the front so that you can stick in your hand there when lifting the velomobile.
Make 8 or 10 mm holes in the bottom at the back and under your seat and plug with rubber plugs that you can get at Mekonomen or similar car parts dealer (example: www.biltema.se/bygg/elinstallationer/monteringsdetaljer/kabelgenomforing-10-pack-2000021896 ).
You can see how many pizzas you can carry here: th-cam.com/video/bTIQRFW5TSI/w-d-xo.html
I would also like to have a garage 😊
Great stuff thanks.
First disadvantage of QV. It lacks special, insulated compartment for pizza to prevent it from getting cold. And a shelf or box for a pizza dressing 🤣
PS. Garlic smell is not that bad :)
What about Quattro Aglio as a name for your QV? ;)
At least a pizza thermo box would fit. :) Maybe if he looks for a new job...
You have to update your quest logo. Love the ending, you'll need to adopt that as the standard sign off.
Hmm... eating pizza after every video 🤔 I could live with that 🍕
@@TheVelomobileChannel This will end with a new video "I no longer fit into my Quattrovelo? - Saukki does diet"
Congrats on your new rike Saukki!
This would have been my #1 velo had they made a XS version of it, the four-wheeler combined with that storage definitely makes for one truly remarkable touring, all-around velomobile. Not a speedbeast by any means, though perfect for those Scandinavian winters.
I had those very same Marathon GT 365 tires on my previous Hilgo, though the ride felt pretty safe on snow/mud/wet/ice surfaces, I just felt these where far too slow in dry surfaces, so got rid of them.
And my first thought on hearing: "Going to collect Pizza in the QV" was: Ooopps! Going to smell of Pizza for ever more!. . . . .
And my second thought: You are going to feel HUNGRY every time you get in it from now on :-).
Third thought: 05:55 Ohhh Dear. . . . . . . . . .
Suggestion: Spray a dilute solution of Surgical Spirit over the area, and let it dry, to kill the active bacteria, then spray a second time, and wipe clean. A few more wipes with Flash should clear and cover the smell. It works with cat-piss, so it should work with garlic sauce.
If your work mates keep giving you funny looks, and cats keep following you around looking hopeful, at least you will know why ! :-))).
Dracula is not happy.... :)
Nice Quattro Saukki!
Keeps the vampires away! ;-)
Great video!
One question I have is, I'm wondering if I could go to ice hockey practice with that, I was wondering, do you think the trunk space would be large enough? Thanks a lot!
The trunk is pretty large, so there might be enough room for hockey gear. There is room for camping gear, so it should be big enough 😄
@@TheVelomobileChannel Ha! Thanks! It'd be awesome!
Saukki, thanks for posting this video and I really enjoy and learn a lot about Velomobiles from watching your channel. I was curious why you got the quattrovelo? I was trying to figure out which one would you recommend for a new rider?
You are a BEAST . Great video
Best out-tro ever!!!
Of course with those tyres, those temperatures and roads, the drag makes all comparisons meaningless. We'll wait for the good season. PS: Pizza + garlic + Furze excellent mix! 😁 I just wish I could send you an Italian pizza...
Looks good!
wooopsy!... new name....THE GARLIC MOBILE!
YES!!! No idea what this orange banana thing is but YES
Most Finnish ending... :)
you can buy sound deadening foam panels and glue them to the inside of the body.. its how they make luxury cars quieter
Yes, but I don't want to add extra weight. I'm getting the Ventisit® floor mats, which should help a little bit.
I have lined my QV hood with a 6mm light self-adhesive sound panel. That is really helpful against noise. The floor mats do keep stuff steady but I keep the pump in the right side storage where it does not rattle at all now. Finally, lowerering the tire pressure eliminates most noise. I still hear chain rattle at low gears though, so it would be super to find a solution to that!
@@TheVelomobileChannel There are cheaper and lighter material for that...
@@AlveHenricson Do tell, Alve. What was your strategy for noise dampening in the QV?
Hi Saukki!!!!
No matter the bad sentences about your face!!! Your face is more beautiful even without sleeping for two days, than the others who drink and use Botox everyday!!!! 😉
Thanks for sharing your schedule and rides, it enables us to see your Magnificent Landscapes!!!
Forza and have Good Christmas.
😉👍♥️
Ps: mathematics : Saukki + Quattrovelo + night ride = Famous Christmas Gift!!!
6:24 oh no! Well now you need a new Quadro. You can just give me this one. 7:50 and so it begins.
Hi Saukki, Could you show carefull sliding on a snow or ice? Good Job!
Sorry I could only give you one thumbs up, you deserved about 9.75 for this! :-)
As the old saying goes, dropping garlic sauce in you velo predicts a great year. 😂😂
🤣
Nice video, hope you enjoyed your pizza n Merry Xmas buddy 👍🥳
I think the shape of the overhead compartment amplifies the sounds.
Not sure how to make it quiet?
Quattro Stagioni pizza?
After watching this, I think you should name your Quattro 'garlic roll'. :D
ya splooged da Garlic Sauce.
I found that the QV has a lot of noise if you don't pull down hard on the velcro straps of the hood. That will cause a rattle.
Yes, on bad roads it does. First check the hood allignment.
Talvista, hyvää meininkiä 🚴
Talvisuus kesti taas peräti kokonaisen vuorokauden. Pari päivää satannu vettä nyt. Tänään oli eka päivä ettei satannut. Mutta tuo meidän pihatie on mennyt niin mutaiseksi ja pehmeäksi, ettei meinaa päästä tuolla nelipyöräisellä tielle asti, kun painuu tiehen 😅
@@TheVelomobileChannel Niin sanottu uusi normaali :)
Orange with garlic would be the name of your quatro ;)
🤣
„Garlic-Lightning“🤣
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Oh, you are lucky that it only was a tiny box of garlic dip... A friend of mine had a 5 liter oil kanister in his car trunk which tipped over an the cap went lose...
That was a pretty big mess! The oil ran through the car unto the front driver seat. But before the foam of the rear bench seat sucked in a lot and got runined.
The car had a nice oli smell for years... It was difficult to get some litter to suck the oil from the parking place. We did not want to get in trouble because of
environment pollution.
Could you please make a video about winter cloth in a velomobile? What temperature difference does closing the foot-holes make?
I really do not know what to wear a.t.m. where it is about 0°. I really sweat in autumn like hell. My QV is in sharing a garage some kilometers
away and that's why I can not just try out different cloth atm.
A hint would be nice.
Regards.
At 0°C I would wear a long sleeve shirt ( I use just an undershirt) and long running pants. No more, because it’s more than 10°C warmer in the velomobile than outside, if the footholes are closed. Then I have winter cycling shoes, because my toes are the first part which starts to feel cold. And there is some cold air coming through the headlight holes.
Then I have a warm beanie and some kind of neck warmer. There seems to be cold air flow towards my neck in the Quattrovelo.
Carry some extra clothes with you in case you have to stop to fix a tyre etc.
@@TheVelomobileChannel Than you for the info. Then I can try my autumn cloth.
Maybe you can prevent the cold airflow in your neck by using the front windshield. I have
experienced that there is a strong flow of air in the middle of the Quattrovello between the bulges.
Looks like they are acting as a wind tunnel and the airflow goes right into my face. I have the
open hood which, of course, can't provide a visor for my face. Using a front windshield
does make a big difference for me.
Voi Vi**u. Paska happens. Great vid
Winter tires, the cold, and the extra weight, I would expect to slow your average down. Like you say, there are tradeoffs!!
Nature says: more paws - more stability)
I will wait for the Spider(velo)Mobil then. ;-)
New name. The garlic sausage
good/day saukki
Garlic has to be in the new name for this velo now...
The mountain drive is very noisy. With time it quiets a bit, but it's still noisy when not engaged.
Multi purpose wet tissues are your friends in such a case. I keep a pack near me all the time ;)
Univelo is fast. But it does take some getting used to.
You better keep an eye on the battery level when you have high beam on. It got pitch black for me one time after a 45 min ride - after that I got a spare battery AND uses low beam most of the time which I believe is enough even up here in the north.
I agree. Already once the battery ran out just few hundred meters before home in darkness 😅
Yup!, and when it goes dead, everything goes black very quickly! Usually in the worst place possible. I have added a separate 'helmet' light fitted on top of the hood, so if, (should that be when?) the lights go out, I still have a flashing rear light for cars to see. Good idea to keep a small torch in the cockpit so you can see to change battery cables. (And the speedometer, it gets dark in there with the cover on!)
One day I will replace my Alleweder A4 with the Quattro velo. Or maybe I make my own 4wheel velomobile. 3 wheel really sucks on cobblestone, bumpy roads and icy roads. Even with my marathon GT365 I have some traction problems in the rear in winter
Yes, 3 wheeler is bit dangerous in winter. Especially if the road conditions are similar to what we have here.
Hi Saukki, did you already decide the (nick)name of your Quattrovelo? It not yet, may I support the proposition made by Ruud Olsson: Quattro Stagioni pizza. But with a tiny enhancement: forget the "pizza". I would propose just plain Quatro Stagioni. It means Four Seasons, which you really have there around in Kälviä and Kokkola...
Let's get dirty! 🍕🍕🍕
Saukki, you've got to call the machine garlicvelo or oranssi sipuli!
Maybe the extra interior volume adds to your interior noise? May have to just wear earplugs!😉
Do you have a reverse gear? Without it how do you go back with those footholes covered?
I made a video about reversing some time ago: th-cam.com/video/QZN1voYhVAs/w-d-xo.html
But in winter my tips from that video might not work, because of the snow. So basically, I don't reverse in winter. If I have to turn around, I just have to climb out from the velo and manually turn it around.
I really like your new ride. Wondering, does it have reverse?
No it doesn’t.... or well, it kind of has: th-cam.com/video/QZN1voYhVAs/w-d-xo.html
Oh NO!!! First mess in the velo!! What about an insulated carrier?! DUDE!! Get the pizza inside, it's 4 below zero out!
He should have bought ice cream instead. My problem is getting the ice cream home before it melts in 40+ C summer days. But I CAN keep a pizza hot. PS I use real fresh garlic too which doesn't make a mess.
Do,nt worry "Shit happens"
With one "extra" wheel a 25% increase in noise is to be expected surely?
As a fellow QV rider: I don't think so. A QV is very quiet when you don't pedal. In Saukki's case he first has to clean up the trunk like he said himself. Then grease the new chain. Then it's all good.
8:20 what kind of pizza is that? What are those stripes crisscrossing?
Those are dough sticks. For dipping in to the carlic sauce 😄
Lubing the chain will make the drive train more quiet
13th. Can't wait to watch the video ;)
Off the rough ice road it'll be 20 km/h faster. And indeed get that washed!!!
wish I could be as free asyou, but am stuck at home and handicapped

Do you think it's worth of money to upgrade my headlights for those more powerful version? QV's default lights are kind of dim lights. :(
Yes it is. Headlights comparison video coming later 😉
@@TheVelomobileChannel Hey Saukki, your video ending is hilarious! About the very bright headlights - is it possible to make them dimmer when traffic is approaching you from the front? That pizza looked really good, btw.
@@Brian-bp5pe the headlights have daytime runninglights mode, which is dimmer. But you can also adjust the angle of the lights so that it doesn’t blind others.
Cut a circular hole in the pizza box lid next time;)
What about fogging a glass?
Suprisingly the visor doesn't fog so badly. Maybe it's because the visor is still new and it will get worse over time. I don't know yet, but I'll let you know in the future videos.
@@TheVelomobileChannel thank you for your answer😀
Yepp, the back end of my quattrovelo feels weird too. i think it's because of the Panhard rod used to stabilise the live axle. Something like a Watt's linkage would be better, but more likely to break too.
Have you found the right length for your chain? I find the QV is quite loud in the first 2 gears because the chain rubs against the chain guide. Making the chain a bit shorter would solve this, but then it would rub against the guide in the top gears.
I think I found the right lenght, but not sure yet. I need to take a closer look to the chain routing and see if something is rubbing.
My Quattrovelo + is just a bit slower than my Quest.
Does it have electric motor assist?
Saukki does no use e assist.
