You did some very inspiring adaptations on the QV. I should definitely try the soundproofing. Thanks for the video full of useful tips ! Cheers from Switzerland!
Nice QuatreVelo, many happy and safe rides! And I love your choice of music, recognized Wintergatan immediately, am following Martin on his quest to build a perfect Marble Machine!
also a fan of wintergatan. do you think he will ever make a finished machine, or is he too much of a perfectionist. do you know the name of the music used in this vid?
Beautiful colours and nice stickers on the sides 👍🏻 The Quatrevelo was my second choice but I got a Milan GT because I don‘t need that much luggage space. Have fun with your velomobile and ride save 👍🏻
@@bernielove1 If rough roads are gravel tracks then I have to say that I don‘t ride such bad roads. I never had problems with the stability, only once I was not concentrated enough for the sidewind and went of the road with one frontwheel but could recover without stopping.
I like that access panel under the front. It occurred to me that might be a good place to have some kind of openable vent that drops down in the front with different stops for increased airflow inside. On non-rainy days, of course!
Bernie, congratulations on your new Quattrevelo! Your machine looks a lot like the one that I purchased through the Texas dealer a few years ago - a very similar green color, plus a few other doo-dads. It also sounds like your purchase and shipping experiences were incredibly seamless. Did you have a chance to try-out the Quattrevelo before placing the order with Jan?
No, I wasn't able to try one out before hand because I was too far away. I actually bought a Go-One EVO-R and didn't like it so that one is for sale right now if anyone is interested.
I originally started the order from a company in Texas but there were issues with them so the main company in the Netherland (en.velomobiel.nl) reached out to me and took it over. They were very helpful and great to work with. Because of the issues with the company in Texas my order took over a year but I have heard that most people get theirs within 6 months. Cheers
I climb really tough hills at 3 miles per hour but most small hills I can climb at the same speed as my upright bike; about 8 miles per hour. No worries at all since the Schlump drive can gear down really well.
@@bernielove1 Isn't it 11-36 now? But yes, total range is still not that much for such a heavy bike that is so aerodynamic. I have two front blades in my Mango+, but I never use the small blade in the front. But I never ride into mountains or hills.
Nice machine . The Quatrovelo is my dream velomobile!

Beautiful color choice and thank you for sharing the sites on your ride as well!
Beaut machine! Some great trails. (WAW526 🇨🇦 )
beautiful machine!

Looking good

That would be an interesting body for a Cyclekart.
If I owned one I'd add a am/fm/ mp3 player and a long antenna for my uv5r
Great video. Can you please show how you install the sound deadening material in the rear. Thanks.
I am currently working on making a video all about that. Stay tuned.
I can't stop thinking about an E-version...
It’s a big pickle. :)

It's a green Sinclair C5 with a crash helmet.
Beautiful machine! How was the ordering process and delivery time?

With your GPS unit mount on the dash, doe it interfere with the cockpit cover?
no, the neoprene cover flexes enough and the mount doesn't stick up that high. Works great. Thanks for asking
@@bernardfosnaugh9256 Cool! Got my new (to me) Quattro Velo+ a couple weeks ago and I'm getting dialed in!
How much was your speed while climbing? Would you be worried if you need to climb sometimes a 10-12% hill?
I climb really tough hills at 3 miles per hour but most small hills I can climb at the same speed as my upright bike; about 8 miles per hour. No worries at all since the Schlump drive can gear down really well.
What rear cassette did you get? Does it have the 11T as smallest?
Yes I got the widest range that would fit. Unfortunately, that's only 11-32 but with the Schlumpf drive I can climb anything. 10 tooth would be nice.

I got the Rohloff hub in mine. Still have to go for the first ride, so I have no idea how it will do here in CO.
Does it fit in bicycle lanes?
Yes, it's only 5 inches wider (on both sides) than a regular bike
Where can I get one?
There are currently two dealers in the USA. Check out the main website for information - www.velomobileworld.com/dealers/
Looks like you're in northern California? I've got a Katanga WAW velo in Sebastopol, California
