Nice, I like the raw matte black model though.

Well, if he can deliver at that price that put's it in a good place market wise. Low end velomobiles, without e-assist, start around $5-6k USD fully assembled, with "kits" being in the $4k range.
Given the body is molded expanded polypropylene, that explains some of the cost savings. Velomobiles usually suffer from low production numbers and have a hard time taking advantage of mass production as creating the body on a performance velomobile is usually the most labor and time intensive part as they are fiberglass or carbon fiber. But molding the body in several smaller pieces and then assembling them would save production time.

If they actually end up selling this, and for the quoted price, it will be a great development. It sounds like this has all the amenities I would be looking for, like locking storage, good ventilation and visibility. How to secure it when parked does concern me though, especial if it is as light as stated. Additionally, is there more than one camera? I ask this due to the apparent lack of wing mirrors.

Like the original C5, it will suck underneath a truck very well.

I think this has a good possibility of success. I really like the use of the poly body. There are a couple of things that will need to be looked at. The first is how you keep that canopy clear on rainy days or free of fog in high humidity. The second is providing access for large amounts of cooling air on warm days. That bubble will get really hot from solar gain.

Very glad they got the wheel configuration the right way round this time. Lol. It appears the vehicle has little to no suspension and does not allow for leaning. The wheels require further research as they need to be sturdier for daily multi surface use. The problem of 'weight to options' is always there. I imagine eTrike 4 or 5 will have it nicely nailed down. I'd like to see a sail-assisted version.

An 8-speed hub might be better than a derailleur setup (couldn't tell what was there), if for nothing else to provide a wider stance for spokes to better handle the lateral loads. It looks well built and the price seems reasonable.

The price (for once) on this Velo is right. The Ventilation is definitely necessary with the plexi cover. I like the idea of the carbon filters but not certain it will allow enough flow of air here in So Cal. I like the look and the specs, especially a 1hr charge time, how is that possible? I can go to the beach, have lunch, and charge while I'm eating then be assured I can get back to my start point. One thing I was confused about however was this statement... "can be pedaled through its eight-speed race bike gearing, or the rider can switch to electric mode and let the 750+ Watt mid-drive motor take over." If I am reading this correctly then you can not peddle and have the motor assist. If this is not the case then I'm in, I hope the last quarter means October and not Nov or Dec!

As much as I like the look, light weight and aerodynamic body profile it also has a high sail area that will make the vehicle somewhat difficult and even unsafe in even a modest wind. Also while the charcoal-grey-to-matte-black colour shown is stunning the only safe colour scheme must have lots of high visibility yellow with an especially bright rear end. I will look forward to seeing & test driving one of these.

I think it is everything the C5 isn't. I think if this was created in the place of the original C5 design, they would still be made (or at least a lot longer that the original C5 design). I really like the design.
