Milan Velomobile liveried; causes a stir

The foot and knee bulges are distinctive, but the only alternative is to have a larger (heavier, less aerodynamic) body.

In this view you can see the twin IQ Cyo headlamps. Since the Milan is battery-driven, I understand these are going to be removed in favour of more conventional bike lights:

Quite a looker, I think you’ll agree!
