Back in 2018, just after my 40th birthday, I bought my first road bike and started cycling. Before I only had a mountain bike and I used it not that often.

With my road bike I also started commuting because my way to work was doable in a reasonable time. With growing interest in road bikes I started watching YouTube-video from GCN when I first stumbled over velomobiles. I was fascinated how fast velomobiles can be without too much effort and the fact that you are protected from the elements is pretty nice. I also watched videos from Saukki riding velomobiles in the harsh winters of Finland. Then I realized that these pretty heavy “bikes” are not suited for the hilly area where I live and pushed the idea of getting one aside.

A few years and many kilometers of commuting on my road bike later, still watching Saukki and other youtuber, I got the opportunity to get a velomobile via bike leasing. The most important thing for me was to get an electric assist fitted in my velomobile to get up the hills more easy and to get a real benefit compared to my road bike. From then on everything went pretty fast. Test riding a Milan GT at velojet.eu, configure my own, order, wait for it impatiently, prepare GPS-tracks for my way to work, train on the road bike and mountain bike…

And now I’m happy to have my Milan GT with a Bafang BBS01 and I ride it as often as I can. I’d like to share my passion and spread the idea of using a velomobile instead of a car.

After Eggert Bülk and Jens Buckbesch started the Milan project in 2005 (which is still running successfully today), they started a new velomobile project in 2021, the Bülk-MK1. It implements a new space utilization and aerodynamic concept. The findings from various wind tunnel tests were also taken into account. Jens documented every step of the Bülk-MK1 project, then he sent us very detailed info to create a page where you can discover the philosophy of the Bülk-MK1.

A velomobile is a human-powered vehicle related to the bicycle, for everyday use, with a body/shell that provides comfort, weather protection and luggage space. Due to the aerodynamically shaped bodywork, you can achieve a decent speed with little effort (30-50 km/h on flat road). Velomobiles are very suitable as commuter vehicles, for shopping or holidays, also are a good way to clear your mind while taking a tour or a road trip with your friends.

Do you want to discover the velomobile models? You are in the right place. Here you will find all the details about each model, reviews, how to order, velomobile price and all kind of useful information.
