Looks great I can’t wait till it comes out for sale
Love your screen name.
The faces the radio shack guy makes crack me up. He is supremely uncomfortable on camera.
👍
Drive it to roswell 😂
love the excitement in your face while you're backing it up
Been waiting for one of these for years
Thumps up ! Yesss reverse ist must option.
Good job guys! Thanks for update
The Twike is a highway capable pedal-electric vehicle.
I drove a Twike many years ago. It had simple, joystick steering like from a 1910's auto, and the pedal-motor system was a moped style, which meant that either you were in pedal mode, or motor mode and in pedal mode you'd be pedaling around a very heavy, lead-acid battery vehicle - totally impractical. Maybe they have updated their design for a pedal amplified assist like Hypercycle and other ebikes, I don't know, I haven't driven a newer one.
@@RichKronfeld The V should be awesome.
Awesome, guys!!! Keep it up
Good job guys! It's exciting to see real world progress.
Where can i get one?
Still in development.
What about a joystick in the middle for steering and put the controls on each side in front of the arm rest. Or a joystick on of the sides with a ride/fly by wire type configuration.
All possible with further development.
Such a Cool machine, keep up the great work, if you ever need a test driver let me know :)
Tank steering advisable, that thing in the middle looks so uncomfortable!?
I agree tank steering would be better than tiller
Progress over perfection. Appreciate yall efforts.
Genuinely interested to see the project ticking and again. What's the story with the weird floating hand bars/column?
An imperfect telescoping/titling steering wheel. A big design goal to get steering away from legs/knees.
Good to see another video posted!
I'd love a Raht Racer. Been wanting one for almost a decade.
Nice. I really don't believe in pedals but otherwise nice.
dream car(?) right there
Not a motorcycle!?!?!? Amazing, it's cool!
Pedal electric three wheel motorcycle.
How many Watt hours is the battery?
The alpha prototype is underpowered; it's about 4kWh. Production version would be 14-18kWh.
Stats on test? Like just how fast is pedaling sprocket to be turned? Your drill is faster
More work on it happening this summer.
Probably way too late but I just registered.
Never too late, thank you.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to this lawfirm for their tireless, hands on approach.
You have me on the hook
Sphincter and Associates 24.1.24 the am-rep dude. nice. does he defend against neighbours?
Can we get back to this kind of thing now that we’ve had a dozen or so years cracking away at the turbo bicycle-car, and however long with the loudspeakers? Then, at age 72, you can go back to maybe a bicycle-airplane or drone of some variety, and the loudspeakers that might either power or be installed within them. Thanks!
Ha!! I love you!!
@@RichKronfeldI love you too, Rich! You’re one of the funniest fellows ever to have existed.
I don't care I have to have one I'll wait for it to be affordable unless you want me to sponsor it for you I ride every day rain snow or worse weather is not a problem for me please get back to me and tell me what I can do to get one
Thank you very much. Working on getting the financing we need to manufacture.
I need that vehicle badly
As do I.@@Acefknone
Gracias por compartir, un abrazo fuerte de Veracruz México
You're very welcome, thank you very much for your kind words.
Make it affordable, antifog, cool in Florida heat and humidity. But most important AFFORDABLE. Please I need this asap.
Thanks. There's more to it than a high end motorcycle with the body, new tech, battery, etc. It will be less expensive than any other EV on the road.
Siempre que veo este producto me maravilla saber que existe, sobre todo las personas inbolucradas en este maravilloso proyecto. Gracias por compartir un abrazo fuerte de Veracruz México
Cool! Please create it for enough room for the passenger!
We are, thanks.

Hi! I have the #21 deposit certificate (since 2015) - make this happen!
Ha!! I thought I recognized that user name. Thanks for all your support over the years.
I am still absolutely amazed that you are still responding to people after all this time, I know it may not matter much from someone you don't know, but I'm getting into a place where I can start financially backing you and your project, but I have one final question that I have neglected to ask. Strictly speaking, do you have to charge this vehicle at any point in time or is it exclusively manpowered by the mechanism that you said would generate electricity based off of a driver's input. The simple way to put it is this, do I ever have to plug this vehicle in, in order to use it.
Thanks for your email and I know it's been forever; lots has happened in the last 7 - 8 years or so. The vehicle is technically a plug in, serial hybrid - just like a Chevy Volt. The electric motor is always the propelling force and the human driver is supplementing the power. When you pedal, you create electric current fed back into the system, like pouring a little bit of gas into your car while you drive it. So, to make a long story short, yes you have to plug it in. If you're serious about financing and have the $$$, you can go on the website and go to the investor page to find my contact info. - Best, R
I remember some of my favorite bands being on Let's Bowl. But, I'm having trouble finding episodes with the music still in there. Anybody know any good links ?
Following the progress since years. Looking really forward to drive one of these beauties one day. All the best from Germany, Mr. Kronfeld.
Thank you very much!
This is absolutely incredible! I thought that this would never come to fruition and take all the time that you need because this sounds like a very lovely thing. I don't know if you will see this comment but I have so many questions. I will just put some down here though. I know you're not completed with this project yet, but I am very curious what you think the final cost would be. And second and most important question, the reason why I and a lot of others are very interested is because it was said that this thing is only person powered but it can still reach highway speeds... How true is this statement And if so I would love to hear an explanation on how that is possible. Is it gear reduction or is it a hyper-efficientized dynamo type engine. Where you do physically power it but your energy is turning into a electricity generator that powers the vehicle.
Thanks for the kind words of support and your questions. First, cost will be between $22K - $28K; about the cost of a high end motorcycle, low cost car. Second - it is not only person powered, despite what you may have heard. It has a motor/battery and the rider adds power to the overall system with his/her effort, (the rider's pedals are attached to generators, not the rear wheel as in a conventional bicycle). Also it has new tech to recapture energy; that, it's very low drag coefficient (Cd) and the pedal power from the rider make it the most efficient highway vehicle ever.
Not certain I’d like to post my email address for all to see and use I would like to drive your creation however, perhaps there is another way to show interest
The new website going up will play this video. I'm not intending for people to put their emial addresses here - it's for a registration page. New site will go live April 1st.
Thanks for the clarification
@@RichKronfeld Not seeing it on the webpage - is it the contact form, or the Sign Up to Keep Up form? But yes, I'd love to see this happen.
@@aaronpropes9134 Apologies, got delayed. Storm knocked out power at my house all last weekend. Plan to have the new one up very soon.
I so badly want to see this wonderful vehicle come to the market. Have you considered making this campaign on a petitiion site with more traffic like Change or Petition? If what you want is to show recognition of the demand for this vehicle you might have better luck and more attention there. Heck, they might even feature you given what a storied path this has been so far (I've been watching and hoping for years). Are you still going with the name RAHT racer? If so have you considered a different name? I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a marketing expert but is suspect that a name that could be read as "rat" or "rot" might not be attracting much positive attention. Anyway good luck. Really hoping for your much-deserved and long-awaited success ☮
Thank you so much Deigh. Your kind words of support mean a lot. No, I have not used Change or Peitition, but I will check it out. And yes, I am changing the name. Look for a new, improved website April 1.

That is amazing ! That is such a great mode of transportation !🎉😊
I worked in a video store back in the late 90's. We watched Trekkies often. My boss would always CRACK UP when Rich drove the chair down the sidewalk with his ear flap hat on!
Bring this to shark tank! We need this in the US of A.
Thanks! I applied and almost made it in, but got cut at the last minute. Apparently they overbook shows and people get cut.
@@RichKronfeldhopefully one can reapply. Would love to see the feedback!
I am currently using the components from an e bike to make an enclosed e-bike. I keep running into issue after issue. The "Rat" looks great, very futuristic. I look forward to seeing this one the market!
Well it's never easy, but we're continuing to work on it. Biggest problem is finding the money we need to bring it to market.
Rich is hot
I think I got this book from Ohio
I had your demo video saved in my favorites from 2015...Glad to see you're still working on this project. Hope you'll start manufacturing and selling soon...I'm a huge fan and looking forward to buying one.
New designs coming out soon. Check the website.
