Page 3: Introduction
It was originally designed for use in races, but can still be used in public transport if used properly. Velomobile World hopes that you will discover the diverse possibilities of sporty and practical use of this velomobile and thus enrich your life. -
Page 4: Additional Check Before Driving For Used Vehicles
Can you see any damage to the tire, especially on the side surfaces? (Maybe chafing from transport?) Apply the brakes with full force: did the brake cables slip? Has the bottom bracket slide been re-tightened after adjusting to your size? Otherwise it can move forward while driving and the chain can be too short for shifting. -
Page 5: While Driving
not touch the body above, below or on the side. If necessary, shorter cranks, other pedals or shoes must be fitted. The seating position must be chosen so that you can safely see over the edge of the body to the front. Are all controls set correctly and can they be operated without any problems? ... -
Page 6: Steering
Schedule cool-down breaks for the brakes. If you stop with the brakes very hot, never leave the parking brake on for a long period of time because the brake drums can permanently warp as they cool. With centre steering (steering via a central steering column), both front wheel brakes are controlled via a brake lever. -
Page 7: Speed
4.4 Speed The Bülk MK1 is built in such a way that you can reach speeds with little pedal effort that can only be achieved with a normal bicycle with great effort. Even a hobby cyclist can quickly develop a life-threatening speed on a slight incline, since the wind hardly slows the vehicle down. -
Page 8: Loading
particular, the foot protuberance on the bow can easily touch down when passing sinks or bollards. If in doubt, get out or drive around these obstacles. Keep in mind that normal road building regulations do not take into account the special features of such vehicles. If you want to cross rails, approach them at the greatest possible angle so that your wheels don't slide into the rails. -
Page 9: Ground Clearance
Due to its closed wheelhouses, the Bülk has a relatively large turning circle (depending on the tire width used). That is the price for the enormously high efficiency of the vehicle. With a little practice, however, you can easily find your way around with it in everyday life. ... -
Page 10: Behaviour In The Rain
few things to keep in mind when traveling in a storm. When parking the vehicle, always set the parking brake and place the bow of the Bülk into the wind. This prevents the hood from being opened by the wind. Caution: the hood can also be pulled up in cross winds. -
Page 11: Chassis
removed, the wheel is removed from the brake plate and the ease of movement of the brake lever on the brake plate is checked. The brake cams may need to be relubricated so that they can move smoothly again. With heavy use, for example by regularly driving uphill, the brake pads can wear down to such an extent that mere tightening with the cable tensioner is no longer sufficient. -
Page 12: Idlers
the joint head must be carefully locked with the lock nut after the adjustment. For larger adjustments, they distribute the changes in length to both tie rods so that the steering swivel arm is not crooked. Note: if you notice signs of wear on the front tires after less than 600 km, you should check your wheel alignment! 5.5 Idlers The tight strand chain runs under 2 idlers. -
Page 13: Quick Settings
adjust the seat to a position that suits your leg length and bottom bracket sled position. The legs should not be fully extended when pedaling. Straight legs often lead to knee pain and are also not effective. So if you have found a position for yourself as far forward in the vehicle as possible, you still have to adjust the angle of inclination of the seat and the head rest area. -
Page 14: Hood For Daily Use With Moped-Visor
This hood also has the advantage that with your head outside you can communicate very well with other drivers while driving. Carbon part: hang the carbon front part with the hinge stick and secure the canopy with the safety cable. This must be adjusted so that the hood does not tilt too far forward and the hinge does not jam. If you want to ride like this, you also attach the upper edge protection tape (included in the scope of delivery) to the carbon edge so that both carbon edges are now secured. -
Page 15: Other Accessories
7. Other accessories 7.1 Luggage Compartments The optional luggage compartments allow additional loading of the vehicle in the front. They are particularly suitable for items that are not used that often, e.g. B. Tools, spare jackets and spare parts. Loading the compartments further improves driving stability, as more weight is stored near the front axle. -
Page 16: Chain Cover Behind The Seat
With the carbon cover you can avoid this and use the space behind the seat for luggage. We hope that with these instructions we have given you a safe introduction to the world of Bülk MK1 driving. We wish you a lot of fun and driving pleasure! Your Velomobile World Team!
