In spite of his old age (83 years) the inventor of the "Velopolitan" Paul Raikin continues to create and invent. Unfortunately, he has no means to conduct development work for his inventions. Paul Raikin had been working in one of the Institutes of Science and Research of Electronics in Moscow as the leading constructor and the deputy chief of a large-scale laboratory. He has dozens of scientific works and inventions in various technical fields.
He have been interested for years, as a hobby, in problems of ecology, the preservation of natural resources, and, in particular, the development of cycling transportation in large cities (Moscow, Vilnius). He has several patents in this field. Presently Paul Raikin lives in the city of Maalot, Israel.
