Velomobile Survey

After taking a look at some of the velomobiles currently available (here, here and here, in case you missed them), the rough outline of the Turanga velomobile consists of a three wheeled, recumbent human powered vehicle completely enclosed by lightweight, aerodynamic bodywork. The upper half will be transparent for good visibility and there will be enough internal storage space to carry the equivalent of two bags of groceries.

Around town, you wouldn't have to worry about finding and paying for parking and would save on fuel and maintenance costs compared to using a car.
