The PEBL velomobile is an innovative new three-wheeled vehicle, developed in Massachusetts, that is designed to bring together the unbeatable convenience and portability of an electrical bicycle with a range of features that are more closely associated with automobiles than bicycles.
This particular velomobile comes fully powered by a 750-watt electric motor that can either be used in place of human pedaling power or to augment it. It can be used in a handy throttle-only mode that allows the rider to take a complete break from pedaling while moving along at a maximum speed of 32 km/h.
The PEBL velomobile offers enough room for one rider in the front seat, while a second adult rider or indeed a pair of small children can comfortably fit in the back, making this a great vehicle for fun family outings.
