FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of mechanical engineering, in particular to cargo and passenger bicycle machines. The velomobile consists of a frame with a seat for the driver. The frame is placed on the ends of the rotation axis of the single drive wheel with a foot pedal-connecting rod drive. The drive performs the role of a pusher-tractor, and one single-axle two-wheeled trolley, pivotally docked with each other. The drive has the ability to create traction in the gear-multiplier mode due to placing the primary shaft and all its structural elements inside the hub of the drive wheel. The velomobile contains a carriage. The carriage is made in the form of a four-legged chair made of strong thin-walled rectangular tubes. The front seat, located under the driver’s hands in his field of vision, is made obedient to the will of his steering decisions. The other seat is located behind the driver’s seat with its back to him.
