Velomobiles powered by pure human power
can achieve - due to their good aerodynamics - great speeds (hour record
78 km/h) and also provide excellent weather protection, but their extra
weight is a handicap for non-athletes in hilly areas. On the other hand
electrically assisted bicycles offer the highest average speeds in urban
riding but little comfort and weather protection. Merging these two
classes of vehicles we will possibly arrive at vehicles which protect
from too much sunshine and too much rain, which are aerodynamically
efficient but nevertheless as fast in the hills as in the flat
!
The Velomobile Seminar 1999 took place
August 18 1999 at Interlaken, Switzerland.
The proceedings: They contain 27 papers on
256 pages: 21 papers deal with the main topic "Assisted HPV" and 6
papers are about HPV in general.
Coloured covers. The
proceedings contain many figures and pictures.
