A heavy downpour would work wonders on that tricycle .... fill up the basket, short out the motor, drench the driver ....
We have arrived in the third world. My first thought.
Now try it with three kids and a dog going on a family trip with luggage. Electric bicycles are for single eunuchs.
...and how is this to work on the several mile 6% grade to and from my neighborhood to either of two Walmarts near me?
I use a trailer, because keeping any load on the frame of a bike itself is suicidal.
They can “aim” for whatever they want.
And so can I..........
Should cut down on carjackings. Thugs will just knock your ass out and walk away.
um, I don’t think so.
Yep. I for one certainly look forward to hoping on my electric cargo bike and making the 30 mile round trip to the grocery store. Oh, and we need to pick up a new tractor tire next week, so I assume the bike will have no problem hauling the old one to the tire shop to be replaced.
Oops, now that I look at the picture, I don’t think the thing will haul a lawn mower tire, much less the replacement tire for the tractor.
Never mind. I’ll pass.
Chick magnet..
Perfect for hauling your jars of boiled cockroaches and cartons of wheat grass juice purchased from the government grocery store...after standing in line for three hours and using your ration card. There is a rumor that rat jerky may be in stock next week. Pass the soylent green, please...
The people I talk with say they are slowly getting fit by using the pedal-assist features of ebikes (and these are NOT fitness-oriented people).
I think ebikes are terrific and they have their place, but I don't see any reason why someone would see them as a replacement for an SUV.
Hey, what about the Walmart ladies? Will it handle the 300+ pound monstrosities often seen walking the aisles?
GFY Comrade Kurt.
death trap ... imagine peddling this in ordinary daily traffic ...
Will these new devices be restricted to streets and highways?
Or, will they kill and injure thousands of completely innocent pedestrians on the sidewalk?
I live in a downtown urban area. I walk everywhere.
When the weather is nice, I am passed, on the sidewalk, at least once a week, by someone going fast enough to kill me.
Just like the Segway. Going to revolutionize how we travel.
What’s with all the posts about Walmarts? It’s Wetmart, where you buy bat for dinner.
Hey, I saw similar things in China in 2016.
Forward March comrades.
