Apparently the top-end model comes registered as a moped complete with indicators etc. & is restricted to 28mph BUT also has a bluetooth motor control which could most likely bypass that at the touch of a button.
@withered_preacher - maybe not completely novel, but most velomobiles look like a dog's dick - this actually looks pretty good in the flesh. At first glance I genuinely thought it was a kit car (until I spotted the wheels) - it's huge!

I know they claim that, but it’s hard to see how it can meet the field of vision tests and many and various other requirements for an enclosed body moped. If it can pass the MSVA test it does open up the path for some better more useful mini EVs as well. Especially as you can run a 4kw motor and carry up to 300kg of cargo in the L2e category. One to watch for sure.

Bit of googling suggests it's got a 50 mile range with a top speed of 40mph, like a futuristic C5
It may be able to do those things, but there’s no classification for it to be road legal with those specs.
If it was restricted to 28mph, it had mudguards and a few safety extras if could possibly get through MSVA as an L2e (moped).
But at 40mph not a chance in hell, it would be in the same classification as a Reliant Robin etc. Not that I’ve looked into it at all ;)
Oh and aren’t they massive! Definitely designed by car guys (ex of TVR)
