Yes. It is only about 76cm wide. I can get it through my front door at home, although it now lives in the garage.

How is it to get it up to speed, maintain speed, and steer?
This particular velomobile weighs approximately 34km and is not super aerodynamic. It is reasonably hard work getting it up to speed. I have to work my way up through the gears in the Rohloff hub. Once up to speed it maintains it well. It is fun to ride into a wind as it is not slowed as much in headwinds and crosswinds. It leans a bit during cornering but goes around them ok. I haven't lifted a wheel yet, but take a wider line going around corners at speed. I slow down for sharper corners.
