Why a Bries

Bries002: Pedalkraft (DK)	The Bries is a very efficient en comfortable velomobile for use in daily traffic. Taller people or strongly build persons will find the Bries an excellent companion as they will have more space available then found in the Waw.
Thanks to its aerodynamic shape and strong body-lines, the Bries is a valuable successor of the Waw. The Bries has the same manoeuvrability as the Waw and thanks to the relatively wide track and low centre of gravity, a stable road holding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unique design

The structure of a Bries is comparable with that of a car : the centre part of the body is a self-supporting structure, providing an excellent compromise between lightness, sturdiness and safety. The integrated roll bar extending behind the riders head increases protection.

Steering is done by the two suspended front wheels, the non-suspended rear wheel is driven. This combination results in a tight and sporty drive style.

Crank axle and seat can be adjusted to fit different rider sizes.

The front and the rear part of the body are detachable, making the Bries a lot shorter for transport or for long-term storage (2m80 to approx. 1m80), simplifying maintenance and, possibly, repair of these body parts.

Daily use

Riding the Bries can be done where one usually rides a bicycle or moped, since the Bries is a lot narrower than one might expect (max 75 cm).

Depending on the situation, riding speed and applicable laws, one rides on the cycling path or on the road.

There is plenty of room for luggage storage. Space is foreseen above and beside the rear wheel. Dry and safe, without any negative influence on the aerodynamics, you will easily commute with your notebook and spare clothes, or with tent and backpack if going on vacation.

The Bries can be driven with aerodynamic hood, with open visor or just cabrio, head in the wind.

The body gives ample weather protection, making cycling in all kinds of weather more pleasant and relaxing, as one is less dependent on the weather compared to a regular bicycle.

The re-designed hood (with visor) and wheel arch, as well as the rollover bar make this velomobile free of incoming water. This contributes to a better comfort during commuting or touring.

The air in- and out-take have been improved and keep the inside temperature of the velomobile just fine.

Design & Production

The Bries is produced mostly by hand, on specification of the customer and in limited series. With the experience gained with the Waw, this new velomobile is a logical progress with some innovations. We one day hope to be able to launch even better velomobiles into the world, with the experiences made with the Bries.

The complete design and concept of the Bries is property of Fietser.be.

Development and production find their way in our own workshops.
