There are a few new images up. They mostly show the decal details on the completed bodywork:

I can't get over how smooth it looks... and how nicely those Pasta-lights fit the in rear. (Of course, I know he designed the shell to fit the lights/windshield, but we don't have to look at it like that...)

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.

more + larger photos please!
Looks great -- can we see more and larger photos, of the building process especially, please?
How well does the start and stopping process work? You have to start moving, pick up your feet, then close the fairing -- and stopping is the reverse of this, right?
Edit: he already has plenty of pictures that explain things a lot better, at the link that Darin posted: http://www.velomobiel.nl/allert/Recu...0motorbike.htm

Enjoyable! Even Dan Gurneys recumbent motorcycle didn't think about mileage as much- it had no fairing. I don't know where I saw that one.
Velombiel / velomobile: plenty of photos:

-electric or human power. Enjoy! |

Neil: as you saw on his site, the fairing is open on the bottom, so starts & stops are just like a regular ... well, regular recumebent bike. You just put your foot down when stopping, and lift it when starting out.
He only has to open the fairing to get on/off (or is that "in / out") of the bike.

It's a DMV thing. If you ask the DMV in your state, they'll probably tell you something along the lines of either filing for a vehicle VIN/Title after production (similar to how you would file for a trailer in some states, pictures, forms, etc.), or, in the case that it was constructed from other vehicle parts, you'd use the VIN's of those other vehicles and fill out a SV title.
