this red Quest (available for the carbon model) looks fantastic.

MAP YOUR RIDES

RADICAL DESIGN BAGS
A photo of the very nice velomobile bag with water bottle holder
from Radical Design. Now that our standard bottle holder has been
shifted to the boom, this right side bag fits perfectly alongside the
seat to the rear of the right wheel box.
QUEST
Tim sent us this great photo along with a fantastic rundown of
his riding experiences that we'll be adding to our site in the near future.
In the meantime, here's an excerpt:
"Ho-hum... another 23mph(door to door) loaded commute to work and back(post office, library, office, a little over 40 miles). I got caught by three lights in the small town in the middle of my commute, so more speed potential was there.
Weather was windy and threatening storms, but none arose. I had wind from every direction. The quest takes it in stride. At one point I was doing 26mph and not working hard. I realized it might be the the 'sail effect' from a side wind that hit me at about 8-7 O'clock. The head winds are nearly meaningless. I would have not taken old upright commuter today, the weather was too iffy."
ELECTRIC ASSIST
The BionX electric assist systems are great units, but we often get questions
about the possibility of providing a somewhat less expensive, and
more easily expandable (ie. you can add batteries) option. We're happy to
announce that, working with our friends at Power in Motion,
we'll be offering just such an option starting in June.
Stay tuned for more details.
CARBON QUEST
Here's a shot of the interior of our current carbon Quest build.

E- HORNET NEWS
Another year has flown by and we just wanted to wish all of you a very
happy holiday season. Next year promises to be exciting for us as
we introduce the e-Hornet, an electric assist velo priced under $6,000. Having
spent the last while testing this beauty I can attest to the extremely
high fun factor and show stopping looks. Stay tuned for more info.....
OUR LATEST QUEST OWNER WRITES.....
"Thank you so much for such a unique HPV! I have been a serious and avid cyclist since age 13, and now I just want to keep on riding my Quest! My average speed is faster than Fabian Cancellara ITT champion from Sweden! I can keep this speed even against a head wind of 20-25 MPH! My Quest is an aerodynamic rocket masterpiece on wheels! Thanks so much, I appreciate it. Sincerely, Edwin"
OUR "TEAM" LEADS THE PACK
Thanks to Jason for this fun photo from his weekend ride.
AS THE FALL COLOURS ARRIVE........
Our latest Strada turns orange as well.
HOW WILL YOU FEEL WHEN YOUR
VELOMOBILE ARRIVES?
I think that this shot from Michigan says it all.
But then, wouldn't you feel the same knowing this beauty was inside...
YOU'VE RIDDEN HOW FAR?
I like to think that I manage to put a good number of kilometres on my
velomobile each week, but there are some owners who simply leave me
in the dust. For instance, four Quest owners have now logged over 100,000 kms each on
their velomobiles. That's right, over 100,000 kms each on their Quests.
Now that's some serious riding, and one incredibly durable design.
For a list of the accomplishments of many other Quest and Mango owners,
check out the data posted by Velomobiel.nl here.
