>>1115267Other than cars/busses Velomobiles and roadbikes do verything to minize rolling resistance on a autistic level.
>28" rims>8-10 bar pressure>sometimes ceramic bearingsSo their rolling resistance is verry low to begin with.
But since they are small, they have a large frontal area for their volume, wich leads to high air resistance.
Also Velomobiles are shit in stop&go situations since they are much more heavy than a normal roadbike.
Since a bus usually does stop and go whith a average moving speed under 30 km/h and packs a lot of volume behind its frontal area, aerodynamics are kind of neglectable and rolling resistance is the major force slowing it down.
