Cab-bike

The Cab-Bike is a velomobile that has been in production since 1998. Designed by Reihold Schwemmer and manufactured by Germany Eslava, it was developed as a vehicle that would permit year-round commuting. Its features include a self-supporting Monocoque chassis, suspension on all three wheels, a completely enclosed chain, and a large luggage area.

The vehicle is built in a modular fashion and can be converted to different designs by changing some of the exterior covers. In the "Cabin" version of the Cab-Bike, the rider is fully enclosed and protected from the elements, [cite news |first= Bryan|last= Ball |authorlink= |author= |coauthors= |title= Saddle Up Yer Velomobile|url= http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/01/70026|format= |work= |publisher= Wired News|id= |pages= |page= |date= 2006-01-23|accessdate= 2007-04-18|language= |quote= ] while in the "Speedster" version the rider's head is exposed. Because of its reduced frontal area the "Speedster" is also faster than the Cabin version.
