The VeloX 3 saw the return of a circular chainset and the introduction of rear-wheel drive with planetary second stage and radial-ply Michelin tyres, while keeping the monocoque structure and camera system. Ambition became reality in September 2013, when Sebastiaan Bowier reached a top speed of 133.78 km/h in the VeloX 3, setting a new world speed record for human powered vehicles and securing first place in WHPSC 2013. To this day, Bowier remains the fastest self-powered human being on earth!
