Velomobiles, powered by pure human power can achieve - due to their aerodynamics - great speeds (record 78 km/h) and can also provide excellent weather protection, but their extra weight is a handicap for non-athletes in hilly areas.

On the other hand, electrically assisted bicycles offer the highest average speeds in urban riding but little comfort and weather protection.

By merging these two classes, we could possibly create ideal vehicles that protect riders from the elements, are aerodynamically efficient and as fast in the hills as on the flat surfaces!
