Velocars and other interesting vehicles.

[BlackWatch1]

I would like to add a photograph I have recently acquired and repaired using digital software. German soldiers with a Velocar Type H somewhere in France during WW2. These cars were very popular with German troops and French civilians during the war as gasoline was very scarce. Only a small number of these foot peddled cars still exist today in museums and private collections.

That parade of invalid carriages at the beginning of the video is amazing!

I wonder what happened to them all.

Zoran, I could not believe those prices on the mobility vehicles you posted
If I had that kind of money to spend I could build the most fabulous cyclecar/velocar you've ever seen.

Not all mobility scooters are expensive. Some are very affordable, like this one: https://www.scootersnchairs.com/collections/budget-scooters/products/go-go-ultra-x-3-wheel

Only $830

How many times does it take to learn to ride this bike? Any way X times 2?

I don't vouch that it is for real as a lot of stuff photo shopped ends up on the internet.

see this:

Side-by-Side Tandem (1896)

The history of cycling more than 100 years ago and how things have not changed all that much in many respects. Bicycles, cylists, and social history.

Hello, to all of my old internet-friends, lovers of small motorized vehicles!
For unknown reasons and through mysterious ways, I received a few notes about new messages from a few topics that I was following many years ago. I even lost everything about this Forum: name, web address, password - through replacements of a few of my computers...
I am glad that interesting and my beloved projects are still alive, the same as many dear members.
Deeply sorry that a great character, a nice person, a wonderful woman, and an excellent promoter of our hobby - Lady Anne is not with us anymore!

Now, I hope not too late, I wish:

For all of you, your families, and your friends:
Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year's Eve,
healthy new 2023!​

Ciao, Zoran

Glad you found the way back sir. We loved Miss Anne and she always knew things that most of us this side of both ponds had no idea of.

Merry Christmas!

Hello Zoran, are you still working on any small vehicles? I looked for Anne or her daughter on Facebook but they were not there. She was indeed fun to follow along with.

Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2023 to you and your family.

Steve.
