Quelles manivelles sont les meilleures pour vous ?

Dans un vélomobile, il est préférable de garder l’espace aussi réduit que possible, et il y a une bonne raison à cela. Plus le vélomobile est petit, moins il subit de traînée dans l’air. Bien sûr, l’aérodynamique est plus complexe, mais en bref : plus un objet est petit, mieux il se déplace dans l’air.

C’est pourquoi nous proposons des manivelles plus courtes dans un vélomobile. Nous avons des manivelles de 140, 150 et 155 mm disponibles. Si vous êtes plus petit et avez une pointure plus petite, vous pouvez choisir des manivelles de 155 mm. Si vous avez de longues jambes et une grande pointure, il est préférable d’opter pour des manivelles de 140 mm. Nous pouvons vous conseiller à ce sujet — veuillez remplir vos données et nous pourrons vous aider. Pour plus de détails cliquez ici.

Schlumpf Mountain Drive avec Multicranks

Capacité d’escalade améliorée : la réduction substantielle du rapport de transmission permet de pédaler plus facilement dans les fortes pentes.

Mécanisme de changement de vitesses : le passage des vitesses s’effectue en appuyant sur des boutons situés de chaque côté de l’axe du pédalier, actionnés par le talon du cycliste.

Multicranks : dispose par défaut de trois positions pour la longueur souhaitée des manivelles.

Remarque : si vous choisissez le Schlumpf Mountain Drive avec Multicranks, vous n’avez pas besoin de sélectionner un petit plateau dans le configurateur.

A wide range of gears or a low range of gears?

We don’t know if you’ve just started with cycling a velomobile or if you’ve already been using the velomobile for many years to commute or cycle long distances, but please take the time to read the following and if you think we’re giving wrong advice, let us know, we would like to learn from your experiences.

A wide range of gears or a low range of gears?

If you live in a flat area you don’t want to have a wide range of gears. You want a cassette with a low spread, in order you can shift gears with small steps, so you can find the right cadence, which is the best for you.
If you live in a hilly area or mountainous area, you need a bigger spread of gears, otherwise you can’t climb the hill you want.

We have made a table for you with which gears you can cycle at what speed.
To make the table easier to understand we fixed a couple of things. It is the best to have a cadence about 90 RPM, if you have a cadence below 90 RPM you can have a higher chance of injuries of your knees. This is a velomobile but also a conventional bicycle.

For the Bülk we have a rear wheel of 584 and we take a 28mm rear tire for the calculations.
