Con
Long wait time

Since these are handmade in the Netherlands by a small team, it is a minimum wait time of six months turnaround time.

Con
No electric assist

This Velomobile is purely pedal powered. It would be possible to add an electric assist, but because this is a quad, once you add electric assist it is considered a moped and loses the right to use bike lanes and paths (in the USA anyways).
