@pjotr320 I have subscribed to your channel, I hope you dont mind, the Netherlands looks terrific. You probably dont need flashing taillights because the drivers there are not blind, or dont pretend to be, as they do here in Newcastle Australia. I whish I could live over there in The Netherlands, here, where I live, it is like you are punished for wanting to ride a bike. Car drivers are aggressive here and pedestrians hate you, because we dont have bike tracks we only have roads & shared paths.
Very Nicely done Peter Jenease is an absolute piece of art. How do you like the bar end shifters compared to the grip shift? Is there a single switch that cuts all power between the battery and the control panel? That carbon fiber control panel looking very classy. A very nice touch indeed. Many Thanks David
Sorry for the Questions, Nitralump (The Australian guy I also subscribe to) walkaround of his velomobile showed that he had an electric horn, do they all come with this? He didnt seem to have the top wire above the brake/ gear cables, visible at 3:51 on his (mango RE), are these changes? Sorry about the questions, I like the velomobile and want to save up for one if I can.
@pjotr320 Yeah I subscribe to his channel... Im from Australia as well as him. Is he in the Netherlands, or are you in Australia? hope he takes some video from the Netherlands if he is there....
Is the rear light bright enough to be seen at night? It would be good if you could get a flash mode for it... A guy in brisbane bought one, he said it comes with an electric horn, is this correct?
@KrunchyJD You're welcome. I recently spoke with a few Australians and I realized again, after earlier horror stories from Brittain, how lucky I am to cycle in the Netherlands. Most of the world has a long way to go....
@MewFushisDad The bar-end work well. The big levers are easy to operate, even with sweaty hands. Shifting back with the rear dérailleur could go a little slower with bar-ends, compared to grip shifts. That's the same switch that turns on the daylights. Power on = daytime lights on.
nitramluap? Er, yes, the horn is standard nowadays. If not, it would be a not so expensive option. The cable suspended tiller is a thing I added. But they can do it for you too, I think, it's an easy thing to ad.
@KrunchyJD It takes some time to get used to the 'new' riding position. After that, depending on the various circumstances, you are, roughly speaking, about 25% faster. The faster you go, the bigger the aerodynamic advantage.
@MyriadesusTV No, my previous Mango went to Sinner Recumbents, the manufacturer of my Mango Sport. I haven't got money or a reason to have 2 Mango's. It's indeed an awesome velomobile, a magnificent ride :-)
@KrunchyJD Flashing lights aren't allowed on Dutch streets. But you could easily mount a flasher on top. You could visit the manufacturers website for all the specifications.
@KrunchyJD No problemo. Btw, the man from Queensland is in my area by the end of the week. We're going out for a little ride on Saturday. He's on TH-cam too.
@KrunchyJD Alright then. It's a very bright little dot, bright enough. The rear reflector is quite large too, that also does a lot regarding visibility at night.
It is totally different to ride a velomobiel, but you get used to it quickly. I rode the first time and could easily do +30 km/h. I need to work on my stamina. But you also use different leg muscles, so the first times will be a bit painful for your leg muscles.

@pjotr320 I did see the manufacturer's website. There is nothing about the taillight there. Is it bright enough to be clearly visable at night?
I currently have a road bike, I can ride at around 30 km/h for a while, and can sprint at around 40 km/h, what kind of speed could I do with this?
@KrunchyJD You're welcome.
I recently spoke with a few Australians and I realized again, after earlier horror stories from Brittain, how lucky I am to cycle in the Netherlands. Most of the world has a long way to go....
Sorry for the questions, I like them and I am thinking of buying one when I can save the money.
@pjotr320 Sorry to bother you, your velomobile is cool....
Does the wire going from the steering get in the way?
air horn attached to the pump. Pure genius!

You have a 2nd Velo?! Are you selling your last one? BTW awesome velomobile dude! Seriously eh?

@BullDog8391 There is list of dealers on the manufactures website, sinnerbikes. This one's from Groningen.
@tomppahonkis
No it's easy :-) It does take some time to get used to riding a 2.5 metre trike.
@KrunchyJD
Never happened to me, so I can't imagine that.
@rjedge1954
Thanks, that's nice to read!
my question: is it riding heavy or hard by velomobile?
It is totally different to ride a velomobiel, but you get used to it quickly. I rode the first time and could easily do +30 km/h. I need to work on my stamina. But you also use different leg muscles, so the first times will be a bit painful for your leg muscles.
