The Tyre Glider works on Velomobiles without wheel removal.

It depends on wheel tyre velomobile combination, one user tried them on the rear wheel of his Snoek and they were useless, that with 28mm tubeless fit.

Who was that Ian? I'm surprised as the Snoek has a large diameter rear wheel and they are a lot easier than the small 20" ones that Sukki demonstrated on in his review. The 20" ones are the tyres that I find hardest to get off and on. The large rear tyre on the After 7 is relatively easy. Could be down to the rim manufacturer I guess. I have a DT Swiss rim on the back and Fratelli's on the front. Assuming the tyres are in spec as well of course. My rear is a Conti 5000 TL and my fronts are Schwalbe Pro Ones Tubeless. All 28 mm.

All the best.

Sandiway Fong in the USA, it was from memory a DTSwiss 700c and Conti GP5000. The 560b combination on my A7 was an absolute swine to mount and dismount, also 28mm wide.

I found on one set 20" rims I have the Pro Ones are damn near impossible to get on/off, yet the other ones are a doddle, I use tubes on them though so maybe one set of rims are tubeless.
