Product description
The Evolution of Sustainable Mobility Meets Urban Intelligence
The Bülk Urban velomobile represents German engineering excellence in sustainable personal transport. Building upon our successful Bülk-MK1 platform, this carbon fiber masterpiece weighs just 24 kg, making it one of the lightest velomobiles available. Designed for discerning professionals who demand both performance and practicality, the Urban model features enhanced maneuverability for city navigation while maintaining the superior aerodynamics that define the Bülk legacy.
The Urban adopts the proven aerodynamic profile of the MK1 with strategic modifications that optimize it for city use. Its innovative open wheel arch design allows for a tighter turning radius—perfect for navigating urban environments—while maintaining excellent speed characteristics at typical cruising velocities (30-35 km/h). The wider track width enables confident cornering at higher speeds, making it equally suitable for both daily commuting and competitive cycling events.
Why choose Bülk Urban?
Advantages
Superior Urban Agility
The Urban has more ground clearance than the MK1. This means it can move better on bad paths and off paved slopes. Experience easier maneuverability with our innovative wheel positioning and reduced turning circle. The wider track provide superior stability at any speed, while maintaining the aerodynamic efficiency that defines the Bülk legacy.
Unmatched Comfort and Accessibility
Due to the external front wheels, the wheel arches in the driver’s compartment shrink by around 4 cm on each side. This makes space between the wheel arches and strong drivers can develop here. The heel protuberances on the underbody are 2 cm larger. This means that longer cranks or taller drivers can crank without collisions with the body.
Tighter turning Radius
Tighter turning circle compared to the Bulk MK1 model - 9-10m vs 11-12m. Making it efficient for urban landscape.
Improved maintenance access
Generous rear service hatch and oversized front access panel make maintenance easy. The transverse tunnel shaft on the underside can also be opened. To change a wheel just remove a single central screw.
Modular Engineering
The modular concept has proven to be very successful with the Bülk MK1: it includes very simple, quick and tool-free adjustment to different driver sizes, so that one vehicle can be used by several people. Adjustment system accommodates riders from 158~195cm, with modular design for perfect fit.
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.

What makes the Bülk Urban different from other velomobiles?
The Bülk Urban combines exceptional aerodynamics with urban practicality. Its carbon fiber construction, advanced modular design, and innovative wheel arch configuration deliver superior maneuverability without compromising speed or efficiency.
What Our Users Say
What really sets the Urban apart is its focus on everyday usability. The maintenance accessibility is outstanding – larger access hatches, single-sided front idler for easy servicing, and open wheel wells make brake maintenance a breeze. The removable service hatch under the steering rods provides quick access when needed.
Performance-wise, it’s remarkably capable. The versatility is impressive. You get multiple gearing options (2×11 or 1×12 speed systems with Schlump drive available), comprehensive electrical features (blinkers, horn, brake lights, running lights, and various headlight options), and generous storage options including front storage bins. The foam pad seat system allows comfortable adjustment of the recline angle.
While it’s not aimed at being the fastest velomobile on the market, it excels at being highly maneuverable while maintaining good drivetrain stiffness and stability in wind.
