Today, in this extreme weight saving orgy (*G*) this leads to extremely high prices (I remember roughly 12000 Euro for the Evo-R). But it shows the market where the journey is going and in a couple of years, we will see velomobiles with a weight above the R4 but below the standard-evolution (say 22kg) for an affordable price... Just great to see Daniel's approaches to save weight. He even took material off from the SA-hubs on a turning lathe... I just hope, he did not forget about his training for the record;-) Hi Jon,

I like what he is doing, he puts pressure on the other manufactures to improve their velomobile or go out of business. Very impressive weight savings.
