Historical Introduction

Flourishing velomobile
development in the Netherlands
In the spring of 1993, the Dutch
HPV-Club, in cooperation with a
Dutch bike magazine FIETS and
University of Eindhoven, organized a
competition ”365 days bicycle”.
It was also the market introduction
of the ”Alleweder”, produced by the
company Flevo Bike.
It is one of the few velomobiles built
from Aluminium.
It became popular as a do-it-yourself
product, and it has been further
developed in composite material.
It became inspiration for other
companies in their design.
