Kurt needs to show us how it's done. With kids. In the snow. While charging his phone. At Wal-Mart.

[Señor Presidente]

With (6) kids + government-mandated car seats. At Costco :)

Simple. One parent stays home, the other makes six 24-mile round-trips to haul all the loot home.

[SaveFerris]

Oh yeah. That’s WAY better than owning an SUV!

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s going to be tough loading up the kids and taking them up the side of a mountain to make S’mores and search for Sasquatch with that piece of crap.

[GingisK]

Ah, they’re forcing us into the Chinese model of transportation. Get your bicycles and your welders ready, you’ll be making customized conveyances.

[ryderann]

Perfect for the 15-minute city.

“When first I saw this invention, I thought it seemed crazy.”

You should have stuck with your first thought Kurt.

[Chode]

eat ze bugs...

it wouldn’t even get up my hill

[rockrr]

Aah, ain’t it cute?

That’s a hard no.

[VTenigma]

Should do well in 16” of snow. No thanks I’ll stick to my F350.

Also, research shows that using an electric bike for transportation can save thousands of dollars per year compared to car ownership.

I don't have the slightest problem spending thousands more to drive something that is much more comfortable, warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer and above all, much safer to get around in. Eco fascists can sing the praises of something like this to the high heavens and I still won't be the slightest bit interested.

Amish start delivery rain no problem.

From the news source :" ..the initial cost of the Mate SUV will only be around $6,900 once it's released in September 2023.
It will be manufactured in Italy and sold in the U.K. and Europe,
however, no word yet on when it will hit the streets in the USA."

It is 3 miles on a winding country road into town for me to attend church, get groceries, visit library, & etc. Thus is this electro-bike “street legal”? It has no front or rear lights, no turn signals, no seat belts or air bags. And how is its traction in several inches of snow?

[Organic Panic]

As long as it is market driven it is great.

[Paal Gulli]

What they won't put in the advert for that thing is something every long-time motorcyclist and bicyclist knows:

If you want to survive on a bike (or trike) you have to ride with the understanding that everything with four wheels (or more) IS TRYING TO KILL YOU

[Poser]

My scooter. Goes 65mph. Gets 89mpg. Holds 4 bags of groceries.

[Zathras]

I’d bet Faux News reporters will still get limo rides to work.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

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?

Like that dainty thing could haul even one hay bale. Or a month of supplies. Or one kid.

Let's not even get into weather.

In other words, "kids, back away from the crazy man slowly and when I throw the biscuit to him run for the truck."
