what other electric velomobiles do you know of?
This is a tiny E-car, not a large E-bike. Change my mind.
It has an air filter and optional heating,
and I highly doubt a set of pedals.I don’t dislike it, it’s better than a car, but perhaps this signals a need for a category that includes whatever this vehicle is. Mobility scooters may fall into the same category.
It has pedals, it’s a bit like those lying bicycles if you know what i mean. I think they are pretty common in germany
Recumbent bike is what I’ve called those.
It conforms to eu pedelec regulations
I like it, those tiny car should be encouraged
my heuristic for PEVs is ‘can I carry it up a flight of stairs’ and this is looking like a no
Being able to lock it at a normal bike rack is also looking like a no
For 6K it looks nice, but a cargobike like a Tern or even regular ebike with trailer would be much easier to lock up IMO, while being able to carry kids or shopping
My city has free staffed bike parking and I can’t see that thing being able to get around the first corner into the building 😳
Where do you have free staffed bike parking? And how many at what kind of distances?
This seems pretty neat at first. But like all the lay-down bicycles it has the fatal flaw of being extremely low to the ground. I mean, if you get overlooked run over by an SUV that’s probably the SUV drivers fault, but still your broken body.
It’s such a shame that we can’t ride low on the ground - imagine the aerodynamic efficiency gains!
Isn’t this how we invented the automobile?
