Extensive Definition
Fantom is a velomobile with three wheels,
two in the front and one in the rear. It has no front suspension,
but has suspension in the rear.
Fantom was never sold as a finished product.
Instead it was sold as a set of drawings. The drawings are not
exact and should be used as a guide. Hobbex bought the
rights to the drawings and have sold it continuously since the
1940s apart from a short break in the 1990s. Over 100,000 copies of
the drawing were sold, but few appears to have been
completed.
In the 1980s the Fantom was rediscovered by
Carl-Georg
Rasmussen who built a redesigned version called Leitra.
