Great looking E-bike isn't it, so many times I want to ride up to my local shops on my e-bike, but it's either too windy & cold or raining, not to mention can't carry much while riding, this would be a great alternative to driving my car every day just to go to the shops. By the way, in case you are wondering yes it does have reverse, just pedal backwards.
Not to mention car insurance, parking tickets, maintenance, red light tickets, gas, city stickers, plates, registration, licences, tolls, etc, etc. I only spent 1k on my e scooter and 300 on my bike. I haven't pumped gas in two months and I've still got well over half a tank.
That's why you will not see these for a long time. The Government ( control the mind and therefore the money) would loose to much money in taxes. The oil and automotive companies too. Once thse get into the mainstream its game over for the mainstream transport system.
I just bought several e bikes, hired my friend to design and weld an aluminum and stainless frame, exactly the same materials as a boat. Fitted it with a solar array and retractable water resistant vinyl windows. It's perfect, available to me now and cost $1000.
I am building what i believe is the future of personal transportation. If you are interested you can check it out on my channel and tell me what you think. Thanks in advance
I think these vehicles should be sold. They are definitely one of the coolest ebikes there is. And the Veemo had handlebars which are easier to steer than the stick vehicles like the podride and podbike
Veemo has come out with a semi enclosed version called the Veemo SE, that is supposedly for sale. I say "supposedly" because it is a $250 deposit to pre-order one, which I did. I naively thought this was a legitimate company, but sadly I was wrong. They never acknowledge your deposit, they give no information as to when you might get one, no information as to whether they are actually producing them and they do not answer e-mails. It appears this is just a scam, nothing more. So lesson learned, I probably lost $250. It is so sad, because it looked like this would have been a great velomobile.
This is disappointing, I hope they improve their communication as it is a prospective product in my opinion although it is a shame that they don't support side doors anymore...
For £10,000 though, the average person is not going to spend that money on a plastic box, the Citroen Ami is just £8500 and that is a full EV designed for short range, no pedals and charges from a household plug, as far as I am aware these still haven't come out and people who reserved them 2 years ago are pulling out left, right and centre because the company failed to deliver, changed the retail price and kept the money from presales, I'll stick to a bicycle!
One may bike to work and remain out of the elements. I think this is a GREAT idea. There would need to be designated "bike" type lanes. But, it would still be well worth it for those who live NOT TOO FAR away from work (25 or less miles).
@@popeyegordon Sometimes a comment is what it is - a happy perspective on a mode of transportation that someone has been looking forward to for a long time. So, just take it at face value... Not trolling here. Your paranoia slip is showing. Pull it up and go take a nap.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but realistically speaking, because of friction, electrical, and heat losses, you are better off using the pedal power directly to move the vehicle instead of having the motor as a middle-man. This may make sense downhill after you reach your maximum pedaling speed, but otherwise, you lose energy doing it this way and have to pedal harder for the same amount of speed/work on the vehicle. I don't know if it has regenerative braking, but that would be the most feasible and it is "free" energy at that point because it would otherwise be converted to heat by the brake pads which doesn't help us at all.
@@michaelberna4836 Wrong. It is legal for the battery to step in and fill out the power you lose. So it will feel like you have 100% efficiency when you pedal. Your pedaling power is only a tiny fraction of the actual helping power from the ebike motors anyway. And carrying 4lbs extra battery in a total system weight of 400lbs means nothing. The advantages of a serial hybrid far outweigh any disadvantages.
@@jimj2683 Let me clarify. I do not think by any means that this is illegal. What I am referring to is the efficiency of series hybrid vs parallel hybrid. Charging via pedaling would be a series hybrid. This is less efficient. A parallel hybrid would have an overruning clutch just like the ratcheting mechanism on your rear cassette so that it will have nearly zero drag when the motor is not operating. The motor would be able to kick in and help, but it would not apply a constant drag. To charge it, it would charge via regenerative braking or via a plug-in. This is how almost all modern e-bikes with pedal assist operate.
@@michaelberna4836 You should try a series hybrid like the Podbike Frikar. It is much better than you think. You are never going to ride without a battery anyway, so that is not a problem.
@@jimj2683 Not factoring in wiring or battery charging losses, an efficient brushless motor is 85-90%. From a physics standpoint, you lose 10% energy best-case scenario. Basically, you're losing a mile to a mile and a half every 10 miles.
This seems cool, but if I had my own I'd definitely want keys. And the physical kind. I'd hate to not be able to get into my car because my phone is dead or because I dropped my fob once too many.
We need more of those wide two way dedicated bike lanes if we're going to be using "bikes" like these. It's already getting crowded with all the electric scooters/bikes. It's great but it's going to need infrastructure before they're really safe to use. Also there is the problem of theft.
Hi my name is Gail I live in Henderson Nevada when I seen the veemo I was quite amazed. I understand it's not for sale at this time, but it available to rent? How can I try it out??
Pity the one now on sale is not fully enclosed anymore... no doors, no windows... pity pity... a missed opportunity... And for 7.000 euros is far too expensive!
This would be great for San Diego many inner city zip codes 92101, 92102, 92103, 92104, 92105 etc. converting car lanes into bus and bike only lanes; I wish you could purchase would be great for a single senior like myself. Currently I am leasing a Hyundai Ioniq but really too large for my needs. This would be perfect, also like that battery can be removed for charging, would be nice if it had its own little rolling dolly for the battery. Its small size is great because of very limited parking in above zip codes and parking spaces are getting narrower each time resurfacing of asphalt is done. Jim Medard
I want to try this one out I tried the scooters like bird and lime the little bike scooter things but an enclosed bike should be much safer considering how bad drivers are the downside to it is that if they get drunk and decide to hop in a veemo that’s at least 300 pounds hitting a pedestrian at 30mph there should be safety features like if the individual is about to hit somebody a parking sensor is alarmed and the app notifies the company that this individual is driving horribly and additional features like a sensor to detect when something is to close to bumper and the vehicle will no longer travel in that direction
I get your point, but you can't stop a drunk person from driving a car or 18 wheeler truck, so why should a company prevent a drunk person from riding a bicycle?
@@WonderWorldYTC never said prevent them from riding the bike I suggested safety precautions in efforts to prevent a company like such from being sued by the consumers. Last year 12,487 people were killed in an accident involving the bird and lime bikes and scooters last year like paid a 1.8 million dollar settlement to a family who sued the company over safety precautions later the company limited the speed it can go on certain paths and road ways beings this is shelled in like a motor vehicle more people will be most likely to take it on the road but bars stay open until 4 a.m and closing time in a major outlet or city is a prime rush put a 300+ pound vehicle traveling at 30mph and a pedestrian on a sidewalk not able to see the vehicle moving toward them steps out and gets hit because scooters and bikes are easy to jump off you can prevent more issues but a full enclosed vehicle/bike is carrying enough inertia to impact someone with serious or even fatal injury to the individual struck. Like my bmw m4 has a warning system of me backing into a vehicle when the bar lights red and my car screams for too long if I attempt to gas the brakes will auto lock until I’ve placed it into drive and moved away from a point of impact
@@jamestucker3415 I get what you are saying, but you cannot prevent people from using a product beyond what was originally intended, have you seen those mototrbike riders in india and malaysia that carry truck loads of products on a small 2 wheel bike, the company never made that bike with this intention of a huge load of stuff on it, but people will always find a way to use a product outside it's original intended use. it's one of the reasons why companies put warning lables on items that seem stupid to you and I, but is necessary for others, such as do not use hair dryer while in a bath, do not iron clothes while wearing them. People will ALWAYS find a way to push the boundaries of stupid, and when they live in a free country like America are free to sue that company for not protecting them from their stupidity. That is why you see so many cool products become lame over time, because companies have to protect people from themselves.
It looks cool, but I'm not sure I'd prefer it over a regular ebike. Even with the cage, I think I'd still want to wear a helmet. Getting hit on a bicycle is bad, but getting hit in one of those seems like it might be worse 🤔
That's a ridiculous claim. Crumple zone collision protection is a very well established safety enhancement, proven to work for decades now as it saves lives. The body shell and lighting system and horn obviously is much safer than any bicycle. So much safer that no helmet is needed. And these bikes are not driven on high speed highways or freeways.
Nah, the Veemo looks much safer than a regular bike. Most accidents in regular bikes happen because you fall or loose balance. That will not hapen in a Veemo. Also the Veemo acts like a crash protection. Not as safe as a car, but definitely safer than a regular bike.
@@WonderWorldYTC where do you live? I bet it's hot as H in there during the summer. I doubt that it will be habitable on a hot summer day even in Minnesota. Needs a windshield that props open like the cars of 1940s and before. Or a convertible option.
@@carlchristensen584 I live in Australia, we can get 44 degree days in summer, but that is even too hot for a normal cars air con to handle. but anything up to 32-35 degrees I think would be ok in the Veemo.
It's pretty obvious. If I was a big branded car maker, I would have customers put Pre-Orders on whatever type of vehicle that they wanted their car/bike to be made and then ONLY make the car/bike models that have been requested. It's a really great opportunity for car makers to make a little extra on the side. Who knows, if it is a success they may offer something even more in a premium quality. You Never Know, If You Don't Try.
I find it hard to believe it can't ride up hills, I have an e-bike and every hill size is like riding on flat terrain it' so easy to ride an e-bike. the headwinds issue, I have no idea, but i could understand a heavy enough wind may cause some problems because of it's design may act like a Sail on a boat and slow it down
Want it to have both grocery and pups space. One or the other isn't an option! Their being picky about customers can be a problem for their bottom line.
ah I see what you mean, but a bicycle like this would probably not work in the snow & ice anyway, small wheels with small tyre contact points on the road would give no grip.
@@WonderWorldYTC I think you would be surprised by how many people ride bicycles despite snow and ice. I rarely ride when the temperature is below 22 degrees F, but others do it regularly. I would think that the enclosed cab and three wheels would be a huge incentive to ride/drive one of these through most of the winter.

Sadly yes.. this is where these companies let ya down because if ur at a stage where its 2k for an enclosed bike then u may aswel pay that for a car an have the extra freedom and options that come with a car.. i find it very sad because alot of people including myself would gladly save up 500 quid to be able to stay active an healthy using the bike while not getting dirty or being cold... this ebike would be completely perfect for me but sadly if they started selling them to public i have no doubt that they would slap a silly price on them like thousands..
Needs suspension so it can go on trails, A V8 motor, A hitch, A propeller in front, A roof rack for bikes, And an automatic parachute ejection system. 👍
I still rather ride a bike (e-bike or conventional bicycle) as riding this is too close to being a car and not the same experience you would get biking
Yeah it an old video I’d like to see how this turned out problem I see with this is look at what’s happening to the scooters being stolen stripped for parts and sold on eBay Or thrown in to the ocean or ppl taking the gps out and adding a 20$ parts and it now there personal scooter sucks we can’t have nice things

People just can't get with the fact that this is still a BIKE that uses pedal power.
Also, a few people making Splatoon jokes
I thought of this 20 years ago...
Good idea for future…make cool sleek design style.🌎
Ok yoda
$5,000 for a trycicle?!?!
I would buy stocks.
Interesting. Thanks.
I'm guessing this would be $10,000+ if sold.
Sadly yes.. this is where these companies let ya down because if ur at a stage where its 2k for an enclosed bike then u may aswel pay that for a car an have the extra freedom and options that come with a car.. i find it very sad because alot of people including myself would gladly save up 500 quid to be able to stay active an healthy using the bike while not getting dirty or being cold... this ebike would be completely perfect for me but sadly if they started selling them to public i have no doubt that they would slap a silly price on them like thousands..
Bike from an American POV
Good
Needs suspension so it can go on trails,
A V8 motor,
A hitch,
A propeller in front,
A roof rack for bikes,
And an automatic parachute ejection system. 👍
I still rather ride a bike (e-bike or conventional bicycle) as riding this is too close to being a car and not the same experience you would get biking
winter......
Er...it's a trike, not a bike. Clue's in the name.
light electric vehicle lanes!!!! It could happen
$10,000 for an e-bike with a roof...uh, NO
just keep pushing for safe bike lanes instead of silly trikes like this
Any Splatoon fans here?
No. How old are you
People who drive this would not know how to change the tires lol!!
Veemo just filed for bankruptcy today. Sad day for those who have down payment as it will never be delivered.
too bad in America people only want more cars and highways
Yeah it an old video I’d like to see how this turned out problem I see with this is look at what’s happening to the scooters being stolen stripped for parts and sold on eBay Or thrown in to the ocean or ppl taking the gps out and adding a 20$ parts and it now there personal scooter sucks we can’t have nice things
Why would they want to sell more money rent ing
50kmph is needed to be useful, otherwise, this startup will end poorly.
nope, it's a class1 e-bike which has restrictions on speed.
Bike lanes and trails have maximum speeds. I just wonder how the company proposes to keep these off of sidewalks. The kids and young adults on the rentable scooters have already made the downtown sidewalks a land of many hazards.
@@carlchristensen584 *"I just wonder how the company proposes to keep these off of sidewalks."* that is a really odd question, let me ask you this, how do car companies stop cars from driving on sidewalks?
*Answer =* they don't and they can't or there would not be so many dashcam videos of people driving on them.
@@WonderWorldYTC In my town, the 'kids' are riding the rentable e-scooters and e-bikes on sidewalks downtown where they are prohibited. So this rentable e-vehicle will be no different.
