I don't know why roofed bikes and bike-caravans have appealed to me so much for years. They are expensive and take up a lot of space at home. I probably won't buy one. And yet I'm always looking to see what's new in this area.

They would be handy in spring and autumn. So here's my list which velomobiles are available with a roof:

• Quadvelo https://www.quadvelo.com/
• Podbike https://www.podbike.com/
• BAYK https://bayk.ag/newsticker/
• Onomotion https://onomotion.com/blog/
• Citkar https://www.mubea-umobility.com/insights/blog
• Hopper https://hopper-mobility.com/

And which may be ready for series production in 2025:

• ELF https://organictransit.com/ (Study according to "Das MÖ")
• Pedilio https://www.pedilio.de/
• iris https://www.grantsinclair.com/product-page/iris-etrike-electric-vehicle
• Twike https://twike.com/
• Veemo SE https://veemo.ca/

In my opinion, it would be enough for a cargo-bike manufacturer to offer an optional roof like the one built by "Ekki Mobil". (picture in title) A cargo-bike with a box at the front would be ideal. It would also be much cheaper than any of the velomobiles listed above. What do you think about it?

After a long time, I tried Splatoon again via the Pretendo user. (easy setting - no Homebrew) It worked great, without any problems and ¿because it was Sunday? a group always formed quickly.

Is it possible, that the splatoon server is down these days?

Is it possible to create my own programm-sequences for LEGO BOOST MOCs on Windows PC?
Is there an APP for Windows, which I can use to connect?

Or is it just possible with smartphone/tablet? If yes: Which App can I use instead of the LEGO BOOST App? (because the LEGO BOOST App is just for the 5 plans from Lego and there is no creative mode)

Perhaps someone needs this for another plattform.

I've been following the project for a year now and Clemens Elflein has actually managed to get the topic off the ground professionally. Recently, his kit is available, with which you can upgrade a cheap Yardforce robotic mower to GPS support. This eliminates the need to lay boundary wires.

As a child, I was thrilled by the LEGO Technics sets. Especially 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 sets. While looking for Technic sets for my son, I found that this range went in a direction I didn't like at all.

• Either it's way too simple and has little to do with Technics (one, or two small technic functions).
• Or LEGO technics is way too expensive, only for the showcase and without a B-Model (no 2-in-1).

As an alternative, the name "CADA Master" or "Mould King" often comes up.

• Does anyone have positive experience with these alternatives?
• And is it allowed to write about it here?

@ Here a small mousetrap tinkering, which I built last week with my son. And the first test, if I can share a moving *.gif here in lemmy.world.
