      Yeah, I didn’t think of the graph when responding.

      Though I believe it’s wrong.

      How is a bicycle supposed to weigh 100 kg with a rider? The average bike is certainly less than 20 kg so the rider would have to weigh 80 kg or more - which seems like a lot for the average human. I mean, it’s overweight even for the average man.

      According to the German Wikipedia page, velomobiles weigh between 20 to 40 kg. And the former seems to be only achievable with a full carbon fiber build. That’s definitely more than your average bicycle.
