Technical Specifications

The PEBL comes standard with many unique features to make your ride as fun, functional and comfortable as possible.  We realize that different climates and styles of riding require different options, so we have those too!  

Standard on the PEBL Lifestyle:

Frame and Components:

  • Aluminum frame

    • Lightweight and very corrosion resistant

  • Standard all wheel suspension

    • We feel this is a must in recumbent riding. On a regular bike, you can cushion the bumps with your legs, but in a recumbent, your legs are in front of you, so without suspension, especially in the rear, every bump will be absorbed by your spine and payload instead.

  • Front and rear disc brakes

    • Feel confident in the PEBLs stopping power with disc brakes all around.

  • 24”x4” Fat wheels and Tires

    • With suspension and 4” fat tires, there is simply no velomobile with a smoother ride.

  • 7 speed rear derailleur.

    • Very reliable grip shifter gear changes.  

Electronics:

  • 750 watt, internally geared, brushless mid-drive motor

    • 750 watt, high torque, internally geared hub motor. We also offer an optional “OFF ROAD” mode that boosts that up to 1500 watts for off road/private property use.

  • 100 Mile Battery System with rapid charging

    • The PEBL 100 comes standard with two 48 volt lithium ion batteries. On flat roads at 70 degrees F and an approximately 150 lb rider, it provides up to 100 miles of continuous riding without using the pedals. Our batteries are one of the safest, longest lasting, lightweight types of batteries available on an eBike with an expected cycle life of 1000 full cycles. The battery and charger are stowed out of sight and charging is done with a power cord that pulls out from a port on the exterior and retracts similarly to a vacuum cleaner cord. It will plug into any standard wall outlet. The charger and battery pack can also be easily removed for inside charging. With a more powerful charger, the PEBL Lifestyle’s 100 miles of batteries fully charges in approximately 6-8 hours.

  • Buttons for reverse, cruise control, lighting, turn signals and horn all mounted on the handlebar

    • Would you drive a car without reverse? On a small recumbent bike, using your feet is effective for backing up, but in a velomobile, backing up that way isn’t very fun, and could put you in a dangerous position at an intersection. The PEBL has a floor, so our drivetrain offers the ability to go backwards with the press of a button.

    • Cruise control, on a bike? This is a feature you'd expect to find on a car! This is particularly helpful if you have a long, flat stretch of road. When you're at your desired speed, simply press the button, take your thumb off the throttle, and the controller will keep the motor going at that speed. To turn it off, you simply press the button again, or apply the brakes.

    • Full lighting all around. Powerful LED headlights up front and LED lights all around for great night visibility. There's also turn signals, brake lights, a horn and optional interior lighting.

  • Keyed power switch, USB charger, voltmeter and more on the control panels

    • The right and left brushed nickel control panels have on them a keyed power switch, USB charger, wiper switch, lighting switch and a voltmeter. The keyed power switch helps to prevent theft and you can charge your phone with the USB port. You can also add up a 12 volt auxilliary port and switches for On road/Off road and heater.

Body

  • Cloth interior

    • To increase comfort and reduce noise, we've lined the entire interior of the body with soft cloth, including the cargo space. We know of no other velomobile that does this and it makes a tremendous difference in your riding experience. Would you like being in your car if it was all bare metal inside?

    • The PEBL 100 also comes with the 1” thick Ventisit seat cushion. In addition to the rear suspension, the 3” cruiser tires, and the cloth interior, the Ventisit cushion completes the ultimate in velomobile comfort. Soft, yet supportive with a breathable mesh outer wrap.

  • Polycarbonate windshield

    • The wrap around polycarbonate (Lexan) windshield is virtually unbreakable and is very lightweight.

  • Trunk lid with lock and rain gutters

    • As for a car, the trunk lid opening has integrated rain gutters, to keep water from pouring into the PEBL when the trunk lid is opened.

  • Rear passenger seat and lots of cargo space

    • The PEBL can carry several bags of groceries. The rear cargo space has two levels, so you can stash things below you'd rather not have visible. With riders and cargo, the PEBL can carry up to 325 lbs.

    • The PEBL also comes standard with a rear bench seat that can hold a pet or 1-2 small children.

  • Really cool looking mirrors

    • Metal, fully adjustable classic car style mirrors that give a full view of what's behind you, without sticking out too far.

  • Available in many colors

    • A virtual rainbow of colors available. We offer 3 standard colors (red, orange, green) but as an option, we offer almost any color you like!
