    Tip: It needs twin headlights to even be legal in NL! That would be good for visibility anyway.

    Have you considered to sell the 25 km/h version with the option of upgrading it after homologation to the 45er version?
    Great project! ... and have you checked for any kind of govermental funding? CZ or EU?
    You should consider the solar version in the long run!

    interesting. question : are the back wheels rolling in the same tracks as the front wheels ?

    I didn't quite follow the Rohloff grip shift change. Was it a shorter cable as the main change? (I have the Rohloff via a tiller on my Hilgo, and it works, but the shifting isn't super crisp).

    Washington State law does not allow four wheel bicycles, I expect other states have similar archaic regulation that will have to evolve to allow these super evident vehicles on our roads and bike trails.

    Will the VM 45 be available in the USA and if so, will that availability be at the same time as it will be ready for sale in Europe? Also, what is the projected retail price?

      Way too early for these questions🙂 Prototyping and lots of testing for Stephane to do before any production and pricing talk. We'll be watching closely with interest.

    I don't care how fast and go under power if you still got petals and you still pedal is bicycle electric-assist motor do a bicycle if you pedal if it should be classified as anyting it should be crushed by this electric or gas scooters that you don't need license to drive say hello on that one just have to be legal for the road with blinkers and tail lights and headlights but you can get a scooter you don't have to have license to drive it in the moped is a motorized bicycle but you don't need license to drive it either it's still legal for the road as a moped bike but this like you're talking about if you got a pebble and elf it it's still bicycle don't matter if you go 45 or 85 under power it should be listed as a bicycle no matter what this is how I see it I wish you people would fight for the right to have your bicycle under power electric-assist were still be legally a bicycle it just a superhero DC superhero powers more speed under power help Yukon hills probably the elf and Pebble they didn't give enough power steep grade heels it will go partly up and then back down which makes it more dangerous giving it more powerkeep it safe for the writer cuz one big as a floor and other ones doesn't know that beagle might be able to break stop themselves from growing back but the other one that has the floor has-beens on the brakes alone cuz a motor ain't got no more power go up that hill and stuck at that point of the grade of heel cuz the the highway cheats the vehicle out of power and they built it under power without enough power to get up the steeper grade Hill like a stinking fool in the hands of the pulleys forcing them to do it like that and yet ye one people money for a bike that can't climb and he'll under power not even if you could peddle it you both to find yourself under power to get up that hill the motor side in The human side will fail to get up that hill without proper amount of power motor in battery to get up that hill it's a joke are you tired of being a joke do not thank you I want to have a Vellow bike but I am a poor man can't afford the high price for one I can buy a card cheaper than there's that's right I can buy used car cheaper than that and I did but I much rather that in a Vellow okay guys to get those spiky ministry with motors on a right track of mater Howard bike sickle bellows Howard bicycles to be suited as a bike with superpower strong motorized bicycle with electric assist super strong electric there's a new company the rich people are backing that has the answer to your battery rolls no more fire bombs in your bike this battery e-bike electric-assist bike will be safer with a battery that don't blow up into a meltdown firebomb okay guys lithium batteries are dangerous I wish I'd known this before I bought some for a trike I was going to put a motor on I'm scared to store this thing in my house well I'm wait for my car to get fixed so I can get more materials to finish up my trike keep the dogs off of me cuz it's got a roof yes but has no walls like a fellow will be at risk of getting attacked by dogs pitbulls and probably what wyler's no telling how many people that might have them in this County Arkansas up in the Ozarks where are freaking live I need more power for heels I went and got myself a 3000w motor and battery to Carlos homemade trike of the Ozark mountains my own power of my legs should be able to climb these hills but I'm worried about bullies trying to take my trike away but no 500 w whippy motor will not do for this area I live in I had a heart attack yet but I have felt like my chest has been recently throbbing like I'm fixing to have a heart attack at 50 years old makes it more important for someone like me to have more power in the electric side of the bicycle so I can still be free to occasionally pedal but not to overdo it where I broke out with a heart attack Motorola keep me from doing so give me more power for the Ozark mountains of Arkansas I'm out of shape I meant that ain't rode a bicycle since haven't road all this time when I was age 27years old I gave a ride my mountain without a motor 3-minute pain not even going 3 blocks from my home back when I was still in North Little Rock being 24 couldn't board a fellow if I knew that they had listed are trike to sit in a car do sitting instead of straggling a frame-up tween my legs just standing on my knees and hips inhumane position at the time I didn't know it was inhumane to be in that session that was hurting myself for riding a bicycle built as a mountain bike City on that seat of a bike that was putting pressure on my hip and knees and never knew it tell the pain came and putting stuff in my writing from Riddick joints at 27 way too young to have this problem I thought don't you think was too young at that time you have that problem with my body dreaming no more you cannot do this anymore you're riding days are I thought use later trucks in Vellows but I found that how much they wanted for those things and I was disgusted at the price those keeping me from riding a bike so I found a guy that made it homemade trike but it was too low to the ground and steering steering column is flimsy it's not turning the wheels when you're on the but turns with you are not on the put a stick you're flying up 5 playing clean your freaking legs you got to be a freaking monkey to drive this thing that had hand cranks pedaling cranks and had feet cranks and a stick tween your legs you have to have three armed Newton to be able to drive this thing did not have three but that what it would have took to peddle this thing and steer this I took the hand crank off always thought that was stupid anyway the bikes that's all with those type of setup are the truck I had was supposed to be recumbent bike trike I just want to make it with electric assist l-shaped old man with already measure hips arthritic pain groceries when I gave up writing years ago I spent years missing writing a bike I dearly loved it so much to find that I could not do it anymore life crushing and heartbreaking
    Heartbreaking in life crushing for me

    Hi Stephane, really great project! I see chances for the pedelec version as well, as long as you can go faster than 25km without hinderance of the motor. I would see a great USP if you would add the capability of being able to transport a passenger in the back from time to time. With 4 wheels it should be possible. Otherwise I dont see a great plus against the Pony4. Also maybe then make the upper cabin wider for a more car like "roomfeeling" and better ventilation. Like that the design could be more attractive for people looking forsuch a kind of "Mini-electric car"🥸🚴‍♀
