Where do you store these? Lithium ion batteries tend to catch fire in thermal runaways and are already responsible for 200 fires, 150 injuries and 6 deaths in New York City alone.
It is asinine.
Might make a good beer cart at the Villages
park that thing at Wal-Mart and 90% chance it will be gone when you come back out. Of course, you might see some ghettopottamus driving down the sugary food aisles riding on it and after that you won't want it back.
I remember when the Seguay was going to be a major turning point in the way we all live, so they said.
“We have arrived in the third world. My first thought.”

It was my first thought as well.
Also....you will own nothing and be happy. Hey you’ll be protecting the environment and stopping climate change. That should make us feel so good. I doubt Klaus will be riding one of these.
And just think of how many crickets and mealworms you could haul.
IIRC in Texas there is a requirement that any vehicle using the state and US highways must be able to travel at a sustained speed which was 30 mph or so. Pedal power, no matter the form factor is essentially restricted to county roads and roads in and around suburbs. If your Costco is reachable via these type of roads, you are all set ... except for that ‘how much can you pull’ thingy.
Trek just came out with their new version - $8500.
Our transportation sec gets the model with no saddle
Wow, reaching back into the past for a “new” innovation.
Mr. Garrison’s “It” was going to revolutionize transportation, too.
“We’re in the money [Mr. Hat], we’re in the money....”
If it can’t trailer a sailboat, it isn’t worth anything.
The good old Chinese Communist Party days
How am I going to fit all my gear (including a mt. bike), put a kayak on the top, and tow a couple of jet skis on a trailer (or the boat) with that?
And the death of African child cobalt miners and pillaging of the environment but...that’s expendable
“Are you ready to say goodbye to all the high costs of owning a car and hello to a new electric cargo bike as a cost-effective alternative?”
Nope.
product of contemporary USA “elite leadership”...brought to you peasants and peons by the very, exceptionally woke Ivy League Oligarchs.....
When I was in Mexico I saw lots of these things but they were just people powered. Whatever moron came up with the idea of using them here should be forever banned from using gas/diesel vehicles and forced to rely on the inferior battery technology for everything. I’ve seen many ads for EVs lately, and they range from bizarre to outright lies, but none of them address what vehicles are actually supposed to do ie. get you from one place to another with comfort reliability and convenience.
