1. Introduction
Dear customer, congratulations on purchasing your Bülk-MK1!
With the Bülk MK1 you have acquired a velomobile that has been uncompromisingly optimized in
terms of aerodynamic efficiency, suitability for everyday use and safety. It was originally designed for
use in races, but can still be used in public transport if used properly.
Velomobile World hopes that you will discover the diverse possibilities of sporty and practical use of
this velomobile and thus enrich your life.
Velomobiles are still very rare around the world, although they represent an innovation that is in tune
with the times.
So you can see yourself as a pioneer!
A velomobile can play an important role in a decarbonized and sustainable world, in which the joy of
movement and self-sufficient mobility are required.
Whether commuting to work, daily sport, alternative travel or transport, the velomobile is a multi-
talent and can conquer your everyday life!
To ensure that you enjoy driving and do not endanger your physical well-being, it is important to read
these operating instructions very carefully and to follow them.
The Bülk-MK1 has (like velomobiles in general) some special riding characteristics that are not known
from normal bicycles and that can lead to dangerous situations if the rules given in these instructions
are not observed.
All parts of the Bülk velomobile are built to be weight-optimized. In order to avoid damage or
destruction, you should follow the relevant rules of use and never use force or rudeness when handling
the vehicle
General: All instructions should always be read through to the end, as important information is often
only found at the end and premature use can lead to damage. All designations: front, rear, right, left,
top and bottom always refer to the upright vehicle seen in the direction of travel.
There are a number of videos at Velomobile World that explain individual service jobs and repairs.
Use this. The videos are continuously updated and promote your independence in using the Bülk.
We wish you a lot of joy with this vehicle!
2. Before you set off
A new vehicle from a dealer has gone through a safety check and a handover inspection.
A quick check should still be done before you start:
2.1 Check before driving a new vehicle
Is there enough air in the tires? Maximum pressure according to the tire manufacturer makes
sense
