 Velomobiles in the UK

I've been thinking about Velomobiles a lot more recently and they keep coming back to me as something that makes so much sense. When you see images of the Versatile and Aerorider, they do look amazing -mysteriously car like which maybe the key. Personally the mango and quest seem the biz on a number of points and I'm considering using some holiday to go to Holland and test ride a bunch.
I think a true understanding of UK topography needs to be incorporated into the design and reading Frederik Van De Walles' thesis "the velomobile as a vehicle for more sustainable transportation", bears this out when measuring velomobile speeds on 5% inclines versus regular bikes.

Having checked the velomobiel.nl website for UK ownership information, UK ownership seems to be very low and locations seem unclear (to get an idea on topography). In contrast the IHPVA forum is red hot at the moment with chat about the topic.

I think it would be very interesting to find out more about UK usage potential which could then drive interest, development investment and then manufacturing and marketing. Anyone else interested/tried one/want to find out too??
