Why Choose Bülk Race?
Advantages
Aerodynamic Excellence
The aerodynamic design has been optimized through CFD simulation under the direction of Prof. Dr. h.c.-Ing. Eric Helter, a specialist in aerodynamics and bionics. His expertise, developed through work with Porsche Manthey GT3, KTM, and Lamborghini racing.
Advanced Safety Features
Carbon fiber reinforced with Innegra offers enhanced crash protection. Combined with a strong Y-frame structure and advanced lighting system, it ensures maximum safety and visibility on the road.
All-Weather Protection
Advanced weather protection with optional hoods, ventilation, windscreen wiper, and wind shielding. In winter, the hood is recommended to retain body heat. In summer, choose between hood or combi-lid. Removable Velcro windows and NACA duct airflow provide effective cooling.
Race-Proven Performance
Developed from decades of racing experience and wind tunnel testing, offering unmatched efficiency for both speed and range.
Limited access for maintenance
You can choose whether to include a front cover or not. Limiting access for maintenance increases structural stiffness and improves the aerodynamic shape of the body.

15% Faster Than My MK1 - A True Racing Machine
Stefan Hegger has a lot of experience with velomobiles. He even completed a long-distance tour around Germany with his Bülk MK1, so he knows what a good velomobile should feel like.
During testing on a 23 km track, Stefan discovered just how much more efficient the Bülk Race is. He was able to maintain 54.6 km/h with just 178 watts, compared to 205 watts needed on the MK1 to reach the same speed. That’s about 15% less energy , a huge difference, especially for endurance rides.
This increased efficiency helped him break the 6-hour velomobile world record (60+ category) at Aldenhoven, riding 318.93 km at an average of 53.35 km/h, even with a flat tire and a mid-race bike change. He estimates that without the flat, he could’ve reached 345 km.
The Race isn’t just faster: it’s lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic. For someone like Stefan, who’s ridden thousands of kilometers in all conditions, this machine stands out clearly.
“It’s the most efficient velomobile I’ve ever ridden.”
Frequently asked questions
“Oops, what was that? An electric car? Was that solar? Does this have a motor or why is it so fast?” We hear these questions often when people first encounter the Bülk MK1. With over 100 years of velomobile history behind it, and groundbreaking modern engineering within it, the Bülk MK1 tends to turn heads. Here are answers to the questions we most frequently receive about this revolutionary vehicle.
What makes the Bülk MK1 so fast?
The exceptional speed comes from advanced aerodynamic design, verified through wind tunnel testing. The semi-laminar design with a flattened bow minimizes air resistance, while the stiff carbon construction and optimized power transmission ensure your effort translates directly to speed.
How does weather protection work?
The Bülk MK1 offers comprehensive weather protection with optional hoods featuring overlapping water edges and effective drainage systems. You can choose between race hoods or everyday hoods with motorcycle visors and windscreen wipers. The ventilation system ensures comfort in all conditions.
Can different people share one Bülk MK1?
Absolutely! One of the Bülk MK1's unique features is its tool-free adjustment system. It can accommodate riders from 150-200cm in height, with quick adjustments to the seat, headrest, and hood configuration. This makes it perfect for families or sharing arrangements.
Can I use the Bülk MK1 in the city?
Yes! The Bülk MK1 is highly maneuverable in urban environments despite its racing pedigree. Its compact design (257cm length, 70cm width) allows for easy navigation through traffic, and you can use both road and suitable cycle paths. The high seating position and excellent visibility make it perfect for city commuting.
What exactly is a velomobile?
A velomobile is a human-powered vehicle with an aerodynamic body. The Bülk MK1 combines the efficiency of a bicycle with weather protection and comfort. The rider sits in a comfortable reclined position, protected from the elements while achieving remarkable speeds with less effort than a conventional bicycle.

“ “My riding companions have noticed increased average speeds since switching to the M9. The combination of aerodynamic efficiency, drivetrain stiffness, and overall design makes it faster than my previous velomobiles. The large cockpit opening provides good airflow, and the integrated mirrors work perfectly when properly positioned. The build qualit ”
