Cons
Con Expensive
Con Exposed to the elements
If it's raining, you'll get wet. If it's cold, you'd better bundle up. If a rock gets hit up while on the road, there's no windshield to protect you.
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).
Con Expensive
At $8494.50 USD, then add shipping and it adds up.
