Long-term User Review - 18 Months of Experience
“After 18 months and over 10,000 km of riding, including Paris-Brest-Paris and numerous long-distance events, the M9 has proven to be an exceptional velomobile. The spaciousness compared to other models is remarkable, with excellent ventilation and stability. The stiff drivetrain provides excellent power transfer, and the tank steering system is surprisingly comfortable even on long rides without armrests. The aerodynamic efficiency is particularly impressive – it maintains speed with minimal effort and handles side winds exceptionally well.”
