Aeropod on velomobile?

Would it be useful and practical to mount an AeroPod to my velomobile?
I have the Assioma powermeter pedals.

The only place where I think it's easy to mount ahead of the vehicle will be where the headlamp is.
There is a threaded rod that goes across, see 2nd pic.
Not sure what kind of bracket could work.
And also I wonder if it's too close to the ground.

That is a crazy-looking bike!

This could work...you will likely have to fashion a longer pitot tube. Perhaps, fit a soda straw over AeroPod tube! :D

You will also need to figure out a way to securely attach AeroPod to the bolt in your cockpit. We don't have a plug-and-play solution for this, but remember that AeroPod fits in a standard Go Pro mount...so there is possibly something out there that will work.

Let us know what you figure out!

Thank you. I need to figure how the headlight mounts and try to come up with an extension to the mount that permits the Aeropod to peek outside the shell..

I found someone used a gopro mount at the front of their velomobile. The aeropod can attack directly to this? (Bit clunky though...)

If your Velomobile shell is really stiff...that is, it doesn't flex when pushed, that might work!

Okay, I have purchased some gopro mounts. Will this do for the aeropod? Please advise.
The carbon-fiber shell here is very rigid.

Use one GoPro only. The multiple-extension GoPro looks like it will flex.

I’ve ordered the aeropod and two kinds of ANT+ speed sensors just to make sure it can work.
