powered vehicle
Fun to build and great to drive.
The
KV4 is a fabulous velomobile kit that is fun to build and great to drive.
The
all aluminium KV4 is based on decades of development of the Alleweder. The famous
Alleweder velomobile goes back to the late 80's. The KV4 is a complete redesign
following the proven technology of the Alleweder. So
it is a well developed product that has proven very suitable for everyday use. A
prototype had already made over 10,000 km without problems before the first production
run was started.

A
velomobile is a streamlined recumbent bicycle.
Zero
CO2 emission
Because
it is a lot faster and more comfortable than a standard bike it is a practical
zero CO2 emission mode of transportation.
The
production of the aluminium that is required to manufacture a KV4 kit produces
an estimated 59 kg of CO2. That is the equivalent of no more than a 313 km drive in an average
European car producing 189.8 gram CO2 /km!

of attention for the KV4 during a tour through the Netherlands. Here on the middle
of the Dutch "Afsluitdijk" in the north.
Very competative price
The
KV4 is the worlds most affordable velomobile.
The KV4 as a kit for just Euro 2695
(Outside the EU where we do not need to charge the 19% VAT, just Euro 2265)
The KV4 is completely streamlined.
It is the streamlining that makes it very, very fast.
Yet
in designing the streamline, no compromise has been made to every day use. There
may be even faster velomobiles, but the KV4 is exceptionally pleasant and practical
to drive!
- It
is easy to get in and out of
- It's nice in summer
with plenty of ventilation
- It has comfortable, fully
independent, suspension on all three wheels
- You are
well protected from rain or snow with the optional canvas
- It
has lots of luggage space
- It's low weight
(31 kg is quite good for a velomobile)
- It's
easy to build (no special skills required)
- It's
easy to maintain (rear tire is now very easy to replace)
- It's
faster than an extreme racing bike (monocoque frame, 3-spoke
front wheel, closed rear wheel, body angle 10º, at the same power output)
Complete
kit
A step by step assembly manual with
lots of pictures is available for free on this site.
