Greenspeed Glyde Velomobile
The Greenspeed Glyde is the culmination of close to two decades of hard work and dedication to founder and CEO Ian Sims’ early vision of a product that would give people a viable alternative to cars for personal transportation.
Glyde Features
-
Speed and Efficiency: The streamlined fairing makes the average rider’s cruising speed roughly 50 to 60 percent faster in the Glyde than on a naked trike. With superior efficiency you can go farther for the same amount of effort. So if you were, say, putting off pedaling to work because it is a bit too far for you, then the Glyde may be the answer.
-
Comfort: It is a common misconception that riding in an enclosed trike would be unbearable in the sun. Truth is, however, since you are, for the most part, in the shade of the fairing, you are cooler than on a naked trike. And velomobiles greatly increase rider comfort in cold and wet weather by keeping off the wind and the rain.
-
Better Handling: The full suspension not only affords a plush ride but also keeps all three wheels on the road for more of the time. This gives better handling through a wider range of road conditions. The rigidity of the frame deletes pedal steer, and the steering geometry eliminates brake steer.
-
Greater Safety: You are more protected in a velomobile, encased in its space frame and body work. The Glyde has a wide track and an extremely low center of gravity that keep you safer around corners. Placement of the wheels within the body of the vehicle is designed to lend a good approach angle, for example, such that driveways and speed humps don’t scrape or bounce its nose as the rear wheel goes over them.
-
Versatility: The Glyde can accommodate a wide range of riders. Most, if not all, members of your family should be able to adjust the seat, jump in and ride off. This gives you better value for your investment. It also makes the Glyde a great option for company fleet vehicles.
