We are starting a company that will produce an affordable, efficient Velocar (velomobile) that can be used for recreation or commuting. Make transportation healthier for yourself and the planet, while having fun. Be the coolest on the road while spending the least!
Comes as a complete Velocar, an easy-to-assemble kit, or as DIY plans.
Motofocker is looking for people like you to help fund the construction of our factory to manufacture a three-wheeled, human-electric hybrid powered vehicle.
Motofocker is a sustainable means of transportation made from sustainable materials. It focuses on natural, recyclable and recycled materials, with off-the-shelf bicycle parts. It is modular, repairable and modifiable.

-Lots of options for securing packages: a great choice for delivery people, hikers, and mobile service providers.

-Alternative means of transportation: for those with balance and musculoskeletal problems, or for those who do not want a car.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
Velocar vehicles and kits are made from:
The frame is made from waterproof birch plywood.
The cover and seat are made from durable canvas.
The other bikes use off-the-shelf parts and a minimal amount of specialty parts – which we manufacture ourselves. Using these means lower costs and faster production, and we are not exposed to supply chain vulnerabilities.
The vehicle’s special components are made with hand tools (factory-less production), so anyone can build their own vehicle at home based on the plans.
We would start low-volume production in Slovenia (EU), and are looking for foreign manufacturing partners to expand outside the region.
