Cab-bike

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cab-Bike is a velomobile that has been in production since 1998. Designed by Reihold Schwemmer and manufactured by Germany Eslava, it was developed as a vehicle that would permit year-round commuting. Its features include a self-supporting Monocoque chassis, suspension on all three wheels, a completely enclosed chain, and a large luggage area.

The vehicle is built in a modular fashion and and can be converted to different designs by changing some of the exterior covers. In the "Cabin" version of the Cab-Bike, the rider is fully enclosed and protected from the elements,^[1] while in the "Speedster" version the rider's head is exposed. Because of its reduced frontal area the "Speedster" is also faster than the Cabin version.
