A new carshare... er, bikeshare... company called Veemo has finally launched after getting a bunch of press a couple years ago announcing an imminent release.

Offering three-wheeled, pedal-powered, covered trikes, they've currently got 5 'velomobiles' out at UBC that you can take for a rip after signing up for their service.

Since their vehicles are classified as bicycles you can ride (er, drive?) them in the bike lanes and park them as you would a bicycle.

Much like Evo and Car2Go but with a more eco-forward mission, Veemo's next move will be into the downtown core. Beyond that they're considering a global expansion as well as selling the bikes directly to consumers.
