The Waw is probably the safest cycle in the world, thanks to its impact-absorbing zones front and rear, roll bars, protective cage and excellent stability.

Full body helmet.

In the photo's you see the effect of the Aramid in the front crush zone; it doesn't splinter; it deforms. After the impact you can pop it back in shape and ride on, and you can just exchange the nose (in this case)
Around the rider is a cage of several tubes made of Carbon and Aramid. In combination with the lightness of the whole structure, you are well protected in case of an accident.

Be seen.

A WAW is perceived very differently than a bicycle. The WAW appeals to the well known and anticipated Gestalt of a car. In other words: people see what they expect, and cars are what they expect. Naturally a WAW is granted its place as a car in traffic. This makes the traffic experience much safer than on a bicycle.

It is, however, true that even cars aren't always noticed by car drivers, as well as tractors or pedestrians. So a defensive attitude is always recommendable. Our adage: consider yourself invisible.

Take your place.

Depending on local law, the WAW is allowed both on car and cycling lanes. Our vision is that a WAW belongs on the lane with the smallest speed difference. Only rarely (usually when traffic is jammed) that will be a cycling lane: people do not expect an object on the cycling lane to approach at 40 km/h.
