Podbike: Frikar e-bike

Frikar is a four-wheeled e-bike with full weather protection. It is fully covered and provides protection from weathering. Traction is like electric bikes, based on human force assisted by an electric motor that comes into action only when pedaling, allowing you to reach the speed of 25 km/h. Seating one adult and a child, riders can use the Frikar wherever you would use a regular bike. In addition, the enclosed e-bike offers all-weather protection, with a filtered air cabin and optional heating available. Additionally, you can remove the canopy to soak up the sun during the summertime

7000 euros is kind of really expensive though :(

[@julienpuertas2179]

When you realize how much you gonna save on fuel, insurances, car repairs after 5 years of use, not that much anymore.

[@unclegeorge7845]

Price out good to high quality motorized reverse trikes. Nice stuff costs more!

[@balibigb]

This is simply amazing

[@BerettaTV]

I hope they catch on

I am waiting over 5 years, and every year they say it will come next year. I do not believe anymore in this. Is this company really serios?

[@thingsyoushouldknow3900]

There are a lot of companies out there that do the same. I donated to Sono motors for their electric solar car and now it's discontinued. I'm glad I didn't pre-order a car from them.

[@MichaelEricMenk]

One was parked outside my work early this week, so they are now being sold...

It's not like the world had à global pandemics that disrupted every distribution line in tech.

[@drojon4813]

I waited 6 years, but it was worth waiting for it! It´s not a car factory making 1 car each hour. They make 1 FREEKAR each day and There are more than 4000 waiting for it. I attended the general assembly. Very serious company with good economy and progress.

Eureka!
The world's slowest velomobile!

[@RasmusNyholmJoergensen]

Cool bike ... has been waiting ages! When is it coming to DK?
You should also have a Speed Pedelec version ;-) since in DK they are considered as a fast bike ;-)

[@puffinjuice]

I want one!

Excellent :D

Less than a lot of Americans, judging by the width of the seating area... Definitely aimed at people who already ride a lot.

Still falls under e-bike category due to 25km/h pedal assist...

And the glass can be easily be broken by people who are criminals, and if it gets damaged or stolen it probably doesn’t have insurance.

It's plastic...

[@frederlendrundhaug2989]

Insurance should be similar to electric bikes.

[@AndrejZaruba]

Самый красивый веломобиль! Да он просто оху...й! У него даже "задница" красивая, что является исключением. Недостатков только два: 1) Низкая посадка в городе превращает его из невидимки в потенциальный гроб на колёсиках 2) Ещё 7000 недостатков

[@georg1411]

for the same amount of money I get a used car or a motorbike.... too expensive ! ( actually 11k€)

[@julienpuertas2179]

😮😮 I might suggest that you are missing the point.
The idea of this is PRECISELY to ditch a fossile fuel vehicle like a car or motorbike.
The idea is PRECISELY to cycle with an electric assistance instead of having your ass in a car

[@julienpuertas2179]

After 5 years of use of Podbike you will have saved more money on fuel ,insurance and repairs than its original price.
But its not for everyone clearly

[@unclegeorge7845]

Mediocrity is always cheaper. Thank you for keeping the price of my 20 year old petroleum trap up so when I buy the Podbike I'll be able to get a few bucks back.

[@nonegone7170]

@@julienpuertas2179 Just get any other velomobile that can actually go above 25km/h (for the past 100 something years)
