Welcome to the BFER Velomobile Wiki
__About This Space__ This wikispace has expanded from the K-12 EWeek planning for electric bikes in the classroom to a resource for owners, wannabe owners and people who service and support velomobiles. This site is a collection of information from members of the Light Electric Vehicle Association (LEVA) who are owners of electric hybrid Big, Fairing Equipped Recumbent (BFER) Velomobiles such as the Organic Transit ELF from North Carolina in the US:

the Bluevelo from Europe/Canada:

and the Tripod from Oregon (US):



This Wikispace supplements information especially on electric assist BFERs from several social networking and web sites including those devoted to the Bluevelo, Organic Transit ELF, Columbia Cycles Tripod, Sunrider, Alleweder, and Sunbeam. There are many upgrades and components these BFER Velomobiles can share and are documented here.

This site features: > Much of the content here in this Wikispace is aimed at both the technician who may be asked to service one of these BFER velomobiles, and the owner of a BFER velos. For many owners, the only support for the vehicle is what //YOU// do to keep your wonderful BFER velo running!
 * Velomobile compatible components as reported by people who have actually tested these components
 * Proven battery charging and maintenance ideas from actual eVelo owners
 * Our unique references concept map for links to more BFERs and related sites. The electric assist versions of these all qualify more generally as Light(weight) Electric Vehicles (LEVs).
 * RSS feed summaries from some blogs that include BFER velomobile or other LEV references
