Built for you and the planet
A good design does not make a good machine yet. It should be resistant and reliable and simplify your life at the same time. My innovative bike best meets these requirements.
My motivation
How can you close the gap between car and bike and at the same time, being visible by all road users? How can you move with only muscle power although protected from wind, rain and bike accidents? Velomobiles offer a very valuable alternative to the car. However, they are often built for high speed. Yet they are more rarely seen on our roads for the transport of persons or for shopping. PedaloCab is your loyal friend to meet your everyday requirements. .
About Ben & Fils
Is an individual company with the aim of producing parts made of composite material, CFRP components and, since quite a short time, of Bamboo. Part of it is the PedaloCab electrical bike which combines many innovative ideas.
About me
I am an expert in the field of composite material for the aeronautical sector. As a teenager I have already been fascinated by this material when building the first sailing boat with my brothers. Since then, I work for satellites, rockets, thrust reversers, helicopter structures and aircraft seating. Of course I am never getting tired of working on my boat. Without my team, I would not be where I am today. I love working with peers and to pursue common objectives with passion and competence.
My history
Taking the bike to go to work is a good resolution – but what do I do if the kids need to be driven to kindergarten? On several occasions, I went to my office in perfect weather conditions to end up completely wet when arriving! At the time when winters were (still) frosty - I once fell 15 times on the frozen road! This led me to the idea to build a vehicle capable of ensuring space and protection. Pedalocab was born! J
PedaloCab in action
The former air base of Neubiberg in the outskirts of Munich is a perfect test track for trying driving characteristics. Note the turning radius of only 3 meters!! In the photo gallery, you can follow PedaloCabs manufacturing progress ;)
