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.
¿Qué hace que la Bülk MK1 sea tan rápida?
La velocidad excepcional proviene de un diseño aerodinámico avanzado, verificado en túnel de viento. El diseño semi-laminar con proa aplanada minimiza la resistencia del aire, mientras que la construcción rígida de carbono y la transmisión optimizada aseguran que tu esfuerzo se traduzca directamente en velocidad.
¿Cómo funciona la protección contra el clima?
La Bülk MK1 ofrece una protección climática completa con capotas opcionales que cuentan con bordes solapados para el agua y sistemas de drenaje eficaces. Puedes elegir entre capotas de carrera o capotas para el día a día con visores de motocicleta y limpiaparabrisas. El sistema de ventilación garantiza comodidad en todas las condiciones.
¿Pueden compartir el Bülk MK1 varias personas?
¡Claro que sí! Una de las características únicas del Bülk MK1 es su sistema de ajuste sin herramientas. Se adapta a ciclistas de entre 150 y 200 cm de altura, con ajustes rápidos del asiento, el reposacabezas y la configuración de la capota. Perfecto para familias o uso compartido.
¿Puedo usar el Bülk MK1 en la ciudad?
¡Sí! El Bülk MK1 es muy maniobrable en entornos urbanos a pesar de su herencia de competición. Su diseño compacto (257 cm de largo, 70 cm de ancho) permite moverse fácilmente entre el tráfico, y se puede usar tanto en carretera como en carriles bici adecuados. Su posición de asiento elevada y su excelente visibilidad lo hacen perfecto para desplazamientos urbanos.
¿Qué es exactamente un velomóvil?
Un velomóvil es un vehículo propulsado por el ser humano con una carrocería aerodinámica. El Bülk MK1 combina la eficiencia de una bicicleta con protección contra el clima y comodidad. El ciclista se sienta en una posición reclinada cómoda, protegido de los elementos, y puede alcanzar velocidades notables con menos esfuerzo que en una bicicleta convencional.

“ “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 ”
