I'm the owner and constructor of the car from the title photo, I'm building Bugatti now in the same way as the SLS AMG ;)
Hi Andrzej Burek! Thanks for your comment. We are excited to see your new project. Great job really. Those who are interested can also follow your instagram account for updates. instagram.com/foton_automotive :)
Now you just need to find 7 friends and build a strech limo with 8 pedals and an automatic gearbox. I bet you could get it up to 40MPH with the help of those other people, and maybe some solar on the roof :)
Absolutely the last one !
the only actual eco friendly car in this video, that shits awesome dude
Try putting some wider car-like tires on it and a bluetooth speaker that has engine sounds.
when i was 10 yrs old (im 50 now) i used to imagine building these and would draw concepts that arent far off from whats been shown here... amazes me a great deal.
You are not the only one. I used to think about vehicles like that when I was a kid, too. It's great that what seemed like childish folly is actually something doable and very cool. Too bad the prices are not yet competitive, because I would love to have one of those.
I was one of those kids too 😂😂😂
Same here 😁
I feel like they ripped off all the ideas I came up with 22 years ago, when I was fresh out of highschool. I knew I should have been more careful about where I left my notebooks laying around, LoL!
I also had the same thought, I wanted one geared to go 70 on the road with little effort. not sure if that's possible.
"Cars that you power with your feet. Its already been done." - Fred Flintstone
Yabba dabba dooohhh, did , done!!!
hahahahah LOL that ofc was in the the Stone Age LOL HAHAHAHAHA XD HAH These hybrid creations are the more modern version of Fred Flinstone's pedel feet powered car XD hahahahahahaha xD
😂😂Hahaha the flintstones thats a good joke
I can power mine by slowly pressing my right foot.
Good luck pedaling anything when its 37 degrees out and your enclosed bike with the bubble dome is cooking you alive.
Now these things are cool. 🙂 If they could only come down in price, I could see a future where these things, regular bicycles (including e-bikes) and public transit work together to make a more eco-friendly city one step at a time. Yes, the batteries are not very eco-friendly, but until something better comes along, this is a step in the right direction.
And help keep people in shape. EVERYONE should be able to get one.
Hence why Veemo has declared bankruptcy wanting 12000 lmao as long as you can get into a decent car for less you are going to fold period
❤❤❤ exactly. I would love it if these became popular and more affordable. It would help everyone so much
More affordable? Compare them to the cost of any motorized vehicle or even a high end bicycle or a medium motorcycle.
@jysmtl we have. These things cost nothing to make compared to a car. One guy could assemble a few of these in a day. All the tech is just reused from other industries.
If they actually wanted people to buy these, they'd price them accordingly.
These concepts are nothing but the winners of some pot of money for the green agenda in their various countries. It's likely they have already moved onto the next cash cow.
get ideas, cost prohibative for most folks! Affordabilty for the masses is key to success. Think Henry Ford.
Good luck pedaling anything when its 37 degrees out and your enclosed bike with the bubble dome is cooking you alive.
the first bike is actually just an electric version of a bike category known as a velomobile. its basically a bike which you lay down to ride, or a recumbent bike, just with full encapsulation so it has a shell around the person which makes it incredibly aerodynamic and fast, however they are very heavy.
Yup, noticed
I do not consider them heavy or very heavy. A monstrosity called the Tesla is a lead Zeppelin, very heavy.
Going uphill doesn't seem like much fun but downhill.... whee!
I REALLY wish they had something like these in the US! With the rising prices on a lot of things including gas these days, I'm sure there would be a strong market for things like these! I would most definitely buy one at a reasonable price if they were available where I live. And I tend not to travel very far anyway, so a bicycle car would be perfect for me!
I try to bicycle in the summer to work but I have to give my self twice as much time to get there
I’d totally get one
@@danielfegley2735 well duh
All of them are not reasonably priced. 😉
Only in city bounds lol.
The first, light blue and dark gray one, from Northern Light Motors, is a thing of beauty. A well made three wheeler that looks quite retro.
I seriously considered buying such a vehicle when looking for a way to travel without polluting. I had bought an electric bike previously but I feel really unsafe on a bike, and am in fear of punctures that could leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere. However these amazing bicycle cars are so expensive that a 'real' second hand car with all its comfort, safety and availability of parts is nearly half the price. I understand the people creating these appealing machines need money for research and production but I am just not rich enough to support them, to my great regret. Because I am elderly, I would go for the Friskar or the Veemo3 as they are completely enclosed, but I would have to try them first to check if I am able to handle them. A dream.
I noticed the prices are to high. I enjoy my normal mountain bike with a trailer in stead. Very economical, fun to ride all over and good for my health. Enclosed bicycles are very appealing, but they dont have to cost THAT much...
Who cares about "not polluting" ?? Sounds like a common demtard statement.
Need diy kits & parts availability. Small folding electric bikes?
@@BoltRM I don't think this solution would work. Any vehicle on the road must meet certain safety criteria, so, unless you are a trained mechanic with suitable tool, the diy kit would not be acceptable. I can bash a nail in, for instance, but fitting a screw straight is already a challenge. Not everyone can do diy or has the space and gear and strength to do a proper job. For those on the know, it could be nice, possibly.
Greed and gluttony at it's finest 🥱🥱🥱🤫
1:48 The Velo has the added cushioning effect for the driver in case of being rear-ended: Bring a child.
😁
Bring a child, hope a real vehicle don't hit it
The Northern Light E-Bike Car aesthetics are spectacular. I want one.
I built something like the PodBike 14 years ago. It has 3 wheels, so legal as an ebike in Canada.
Recently upgraded batteries to give a 260km, no pedaling range.
Do you have a video about it? I'd like to see it and I'm sure others would too :)
If you give it a solar panel canopy, you may never have to charge it!
This person built really good vehicle. Let say if there is enough financial support, do you think it is scalable? I think we need to put all this oil dangerous vehicles underground and let this small electric vehicle to run above.
I love the veemo, I wish it was widely available! I think these bike cars are a wonderful mode of transport, a real alternative to cars in urban areas and for short commutes.
people would be generally healthier and much less pollution.
The company went bankrupt...just checked out their website
Veemo is so proper 😭😭
The bio hybrid looks awesome and seems very practical, I'd love to see more of those around
Yes, great idea, one problem though, 12 000 EUR price tag, so... yeah, there's that.
That was my favorite too but I googled it and found "Bio-Hybrid goes bankrupt" 😀
Only if you have a garage to keep it in at night. Locking that thing outside overnight sounds like a bad idea. Also attracting too much attention sounds cool but usually isn't a good idea when it's that expensive
@@FrigginM16 I think it's the price but also lack of practicality
I want one with a pickup bed!
I remember riding a Kinner pedal go cart when I was a kid.. they’ve come a long ways! Beautiful pedal rides.. a few not too attractive, but utility friendly
We need to make our infrastructure more bicycle and walk friendly before anybody would consider things like these to be taken serious for their transportation needs
Yes it's no wonder all these companies are European...
Yeah that's for sure I definitely get one if the city I lived in actually had sidewalks. The thing is there are "stroads" and interstates where speeds are anywhere from 50-75 mph an hour that go straight through the city and are pretty much impassable without a car or a several mile long detour.
@@Aatell764 I recommend Charlottesville North Carolina very laid back town / City
Topography, such as hills, exist.
Any one older than 40 will battle.
@@ramonetheninja yeah, they have the same issue as the hive city people here, they have a hard time understanding that people might have different needs than them.
You could call these vehicles the authentic, Flintstone Automobiles. All leg powered.
Beat feet.
Didn't watch it did you? All of them had electric motors.
With toxic non bio degradable batteries.
But can you hang a full rack of brontosaurus ribs off the side, without flipping them over?
@@Mike-gt1cs, If Mr. Flintstone, in the original series couldn’t handle a full rack of, “Brontosaurus ribs” then neither could these, “Flintstone pedal pushers.” In my observation those vehicles wouldn’t be flipped, but would be completely crushed.
I remember back around 1965 some neighbors had old metal pedal powered cars reminiscent of the 20's. 2 seaters more for kids with roof as well. These had the 'pump pedals' instead of the classic circular crank.
My E-Bike is heaven sent. I can see so many more things, and places, I could never see in my car. Unfortunately, the USA has very few, if any, sales and maintenance outlets in the USA. Certainly, in the very cold northern area where I live, a velomobile, like these shown, would make traveling in the winter much more possible.
I'm surprised how little love the Pod-Ride is getting. Sure, it doesn't look as sleek or refined as some of the other concepts, but I see a SUPER cheap and versatile means of transportation. It also looks like it would be very easy and inexpensive to do maintenance on vs. several of the more technology-packed counterparts on this list. 9.5/10 I would buy this if given the chance. Keep up the good work Michael!
Fisher Price simplicity just isn't everyone's cup of tea I guess.
@@deadeyeduncan5022 lmao
n who the heck is michael lol
It was also very nice but the Mercedes was sick lol
the concept of super nimble steering, low center of balance and optimal weight performance doesn't matter to a culture that responds to image. personally i'd rather crash in a fabric chassis than a bunch of junk only there to look cool, but i've had to carry actual weight around the non-virtual world by not pressing buttons before. i had to rent a pontiac in 2011 that took six points to do a K turn, but the entire dashboard was covered in LEDs. hehe "leds"
I'm completely BOWLED OVER!
This concept is BRILLIANT!
Brilliant machines. Great video.
A group in my senior year capstone class worked on a vehicle similar to the pod car, Frikar but I don't remember what it was called. I'm sure I could dig it up. It was funded by some rich guy with a team pretty much just working out of his house. Not sure what he was expecting out of some students with the tools and machines available being more generalized. I remember he wanted it to be able to keep you dry while getting out and the top being all glass but a solid piece that moved. I think he really wanted something out of science fiction. Something that not only we as students would have trouble with but also high tech companies. I mean it was probably doable with enough time, money, tools, knowledge, and experience but I know when he explained to the class what he wanted to sell his project to a group everyone just kind of looked at each other.
These projects go along the "i have a great idea: you work and i get all the money" line.
If they continue to price these otherwise useful inventions higher than a second hand car, guess who will buy them? That's right, people who don't really need them will, people made of money.
Agree.
A brand new bike can cost the same as a second hand car. Add composite material shells, electric motors/batteries, and LED light clusters, and you have an expensive bike. Design your own and undercut the market, there's no patented technology here.
06:26 we all here for the car and he did an amazing job 👏👏👏
Jag...wire?
Amazing cycle vehicles. Great work.
I never saw one of these here in Croatia.
These things would surely be regulated by the government if they existed here because they are too big.
The gullwing is very cool! With a pedal assist ebike motor I’d imagine it gets up to 30mph very easily. And that’s fast enough for in town traffic in most cities lol
When 60 is the speed limit no its very slow and not very useful
@@Dmanrider he said in town traffic. That means no highways and certainly no speeds near 60mph.
@@samhowl1152 speed limit around here is 60, 40 the lowest. still a big no its to big and slow to expensive for something way to inconvenient
@@Dmanrider no city street has a 60mph speed limit
@@looper964maybe 60 kph which is about 40 mph.
I can only hope that the prices come down to where they're affordable to the poor and disabled who can't afford cars or ride regular bikes.
I don't think the most disabled want to ride a vehicle that they are required to pedal the whole time
@@dandcc9192 Depends on the disability, of course. Plus, electromotors should be easy to install. I believe the Netherlands already have similar vehicles.
@@shibolinemress8913 That just sounds like an electric car with extra steps
@@dandcc9192 But much smaller, cheaper and easier to park.
@@shibolinemress8913 Or, how about, much smaller, barely cheaper, if not more expensive, can't climb hills as well
Amazing! The idea of including electrical motor to this lightweight vehicles is exciting.
Amei, parabéns pelo PROJÉTO.
Some of them look awesome, but I can't help wonder how well they keep up with city traffic. That's essential when they take up as much space as a car.
the idea is cars will be replaced by these things and used only for very long distances. In the near future, we hopefully wont need `city traffic` as we know it now anymore in city centres
@@postbezorgercafepostbezorg1044 Yeah. Ideally in my opinion cities would be for bicycles and pedestrians only, outside of public transport and trucks.
@@peytonmac1131 nah
You guys are really embracing 'you'll own nothing and be happy'.
Screw that.
@@russellm2555 How so? Do you place such value on your car that you can't see any worth in life without one?
Love this I’ve always had this in my mind since I was a little boy and I’m 61 years old now finally people are doing something that I never could do. Thank you.
This can't be bicycle 😐 it should be Quadcycle 😅😂😂
That first one is impressive. My friends and I made a super mileage car just like in 20 years ago when we were in 10th grade. Competed at Brainard International Raceway with it.
Looks Great! I'm very interested. Thanks for the opportunity to see.
I love the video we need more of these with companies that are actually selling them. Thank you so much. I like the one from Canada that has the antitheft device that’s really important when you get something like this because people are stealing everything nowadays. They all have to consider this and do something about it to prevent it being stolen.
I would definitely use one for going to the grocery store and just moving about town. No highway just local streets.
same I ride a mountain bike with a trailer and some of these would really help me with shopping.
Its illegal in most highways of North American U.S.
Its also illegal to walk along the highways. Yet, public transport is almost exclusive to citys.
That blue Mercedes is killer!!!
1:18 I go cycling down there! Didn't expect to see that!
The bio-hybrid is really cool, and would be useful in local markets transports
Sadly it seems to have gone kaput at some point, but I have seen videos on a few occasions of tiny compact UPS bike vans in a very similar style this year. I wonder if there's any connection
First off, the first one is a very beautifully executed design (I work in Quality engineering) and love everything about it!
It’s a pity that podride is still not available in the market as of august 2023. That’s my favorite one.
I liked the 1st one the most! Thanks for the video!
I like the bio hybrid but alas, here in Houston, they would steal it. Same with the Vemo.
I would like to build something myself. But first, a travel mobility scooter for my sister.
I don’t think theft is really an issue in Houston.
It would likely get flattened in traffic before having the chance to be left alone anyplace 🙀
@@helidude3502 This! ! 👆
@@helidude3502 lol I was gonna say this. Someone in a lifted truck would run you over first cuz this is 'Merika.🤣🤣🤣
This makes me see a future where we drive little electric gocarts to work.
well I hope so, cause if we drive 5 seater cars alone for 90% of the time it's no matter if it is ev or rolling coal there's too low energy efficiency and co2 is created either way in power plant or in combustion engine, the planet doesn't care where it's coming from.
road rage will never be the same
@DaysOfFunder, that's even if there's any work left for human power.
4:35 😂the dude’s having fun. Hilarious.
I liked the Mercedes Benz style one the best. With the b&w paint job, the last one looks like an Orca!
Each one is an amazing piece of art
Yeah, this is what bikes path need, larger vehicles travelling 25mph among other cyclists and walkers.
Bikes are legal on the road chap, get used to slowing down to 25 mph now while you're ahead
Actually this is what fixes the pedestrian pathway problems. Move all geared vehicles to the bike lanes. Fact is if this takes off in any significant manner, then the traffic will require "bike lanes" added everywhere to accommodate.
@@rorychivers8769 It is a valid concern that all these stupid human powered vehicles end up on the roads causing all kinds of chaos.
@@seanregehr4921 I sure don't see any of this stuff gaining much popularity around my area. I don't care how efficient this crap is, going 25mph everywhere takes forever to get S done. Figure it's practically double the time anywhere you go and that's if you can maintain that speed. Even with assisted, you still have to be pedaling the whole time.
@@marcuslinton310 Your suffering is only just beginning, it brings me great joy to know how much this pains you
OOOOh, the pod ride is awesome!!
What an amazing show up . Cycling car really got my attention 🤗🤗
7:30 This would be wicked with a couple 1000 watt motors and batteries I would drive that thing everywhere except the highways.
Love these! I mean seriously, if people really wanted to save the planet, it's this. Having 1-5 ton electric cars isn't saving the planet, more like trying to destory it further..
But these! Are not wasteful, very practical, just needs to be actual products that people are enticed to get but Govt be Govt, they'll give you a carbon credit tax cut for buying a 5 ton wasteful electric truck instead of something like these & instead probably give you fines for lets just say not having it registered or riding it on the road/sidewalk depending where you live.
Those things arent practical lmaooo
@@metalreignz6557 Perfectly fine depending where you live
@@thexspikes a small town maybe but a car 🚗 doe
If you get hit by a real car you will be ruined.
The government doesn't incentivise responsibility.
Its only tax cuts to scratch a friends back and increase sales to that particular business partner.
Its called crony lobbyists
I am so excited after seeing this cause i was born to do this.I live in South Africa at the moment & i love creativity wish i could be there & help you out.We can make Gods people's life to be much easier & enjoyable life
Brillant designs. Surprised I’ve never seen one here in Nice, France.
The Mercedes replica looked cool, but I think my favorite would be the Bio Hybrid. But for a lonely country road, I'd use the Kinner.
Bio Hybrid the most versatile, I think!
Not that versatile given the company went bankrupt last year. 😂
@@randlepmcmurphy6117 okay "was" The most versatile then! But that's always the problem it takes to long and in the beginning it's to expensive, to get it widely on the road. Maybe when E. Musk was involved?? 🤑
*My best dream become true. i love this mann. :-')
the 2nd one. pod whatever is my favorite. I like this concept in general
As amazing as the Kinner Bicycle Car looks, $15,000 is way over priced. You can buy so many other things for half or 1/4 of that price.
Agreed. Very few features for that price and it’s a bike you can only ride comfortably in fine weather
Yeah, but the same argument can be used against top of the line classic road bikes... you can easily spend $8-15K on a custom road bike designed for competition and the trade off is low weight for reliability and no cargo capacity. Here we have companies trading off weight and cost for something that is highly usable under more situations... not just a sunny day going to go workout or race vehicle. I've converted a bunch of bikes and trikes to electric assist and since I did it myself, I could get ridiculous with the power and range levels. At 52v with a 20Ah battery, I can get about 35 miles range at about 30 mph. I've got multiple batteries so if I really want to head out for a long fast ride, I can still get home with power to spare... in comfort, with cargo.
@@scottmcelhiney323 those are overpriced junk
For decades ive wanted to build something like this
Me too . I always wanted to buy square pipes so I could make a cargo trike with the rear motorcycle wheels connected to a repurposed chainsaw engine but I'm broke af
Wow ha! Bonggang-bongga po ang nakatuklas nito ayus,luffet !
Is any of these available on commercial scale? If so what are the cost implications? I am seriously interested to acquire one
I hope I get to see these become commonplace. I really wanted an Elio for a work car but sadly, the vehicle didn't make it to market. I know they're not the same but a small, very efficient vehicle would be so good to commute to work.
most of these never do becouse of the price tags.
I think the Elio got caught up in a bunch of red tape as well
@@gogereaver349 , everything is expensive when it's a new thing. VCRs were costly when they were an emerging device. dishwashers were costly.
The point is the price will come down.
@@hell_march6652 , that and regulations.
@@terrymofmich in the case with these they never make to mass manufacturing and disappear. So they never get cheaper.
I really like this concept, this is the only thing I have seen so far that gives me any hope or optimism for the future, even though you would be limited in how far you can travel depending on how tired out you get, I still like the idea of pedal / bicycle cars. Reminds me of the ideas Clive Sinclair had in the 80's with his C5 and X-1 pedal car.
We also have to work out the issue of highway travel as well, that's a big one.
Not to go far , that's the idea ..
I recently spotted a Sinclair C5 down by the waterfront in my town and stopped to have a closer look. The owner asked if I'd like to have a go in it...too right I did! Great fun.
You're not supposed to use it for everything, just to use it instead of a car for your daily driving. Most cars out there can carry at least 4 people yet only carry 1 most of the time. Individual vehicles means a ton of energy consumption reduced.
These are awesome! I really want something like that sports car but with a big fly wheel inside so that you can keep pedaling even at a full stop and then throw it into gear and get some crazy acceleration!
Sou ciclista e fa das magrelas e esse video e demais! Impressionante!
The Pedlec can be game changer for developing countries like Bangladesh and India where this mode transport is most common. If company studies the market well and custom built according to the weather condition this is going to be instant hit that comes with style and economical.
Some great ideas, but I think most people would prefer a standard cycle handlebar style steering system over the, Im not sure what to call it, leaver steering system. Being Canadian, I do love the fact someone is designing for all weather (winter driving).
loved all of them :)
That so amazing video...thank you very much sir...
I used to think about this concept when I was pretty young. Given the space you have to work with in something the size of a car. You can really exploit the science of gearing. Software can be written to figure out the path of least resistance. The possibilities are endless.
Absolutely ❤ it. I would certainly buy
When i saw that little thing goes up hill i lost it xD its cool,
SLS AMG is impressive design 👍👍 great video
Great video and great video!!
I can't help to comment the misleading intro though, since these vehicles have significantly bigger price than a small used car without doing exactly what a car does...
A lot of these vehicles are hot air cookers in the summer, also gradients would be a struggle for any battery and skinny legs.
They are all awesome👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I wish i lived in a world where these were the preferred form of transportation
How would you keep one from being stolen, though?
Detachable wheel? STRONG bar lock with alarm?
RFID bracelet that releases the brake maybe?
Seat-mortar ? 💂♂️💥
Six armed guards following you in a black Suburban would decrease the chance of getting jacked.
I like the PEDELEC van. I think that would make a good food delivery vehicle for a city. Possibly with the addition of removable doors for the driver cab.
If I have this, I'll work as a delivery man or deliver food like panda and grab
Now those are great options for me saving me so much hassle. Electric bike car also need rooftop solar panels as options.
Awesome!❤️🔥
If the Podbike had space for two people it would be my option as I would like an ebike full closed and for two people. The same goes for Veemo, would like one for two people. But unfortunately the full closed version is discontinued.
I would need something closed and secure as here where I live it can be stolen easily without any security.
Never had a car or be attracted to the idea of have one, and with the high maintainance prize of them I feel less attracted. When I knew the existence of velomobiles I started to dream of the idea of having one, as I don't need more than what they can offer, and are more practical in some way.
Considering a 50cc goes for around a grand, and the Radrunner is 14, I’d say anything more than 3grand is way too much. The price must be high for manufacturing reasons
Yes agreed. The concept is sound but the prices are crazy.
Agree! Also if something breaks, how long will it take to get the parts and will I need to trailer it to a bike shop? They are just a cool thing to have honestly
These are absolutely amazing, I have to get one of those..
Been watching this kind of concept vehicle for decades, and in the States, we're still exactly where we were 10-20 years ago in terms of price, availability, dealer support, and compatible roadways. Our mode of city planning creates too many obstacles to owning and using these things, which is why adoption is near zero. It's beyond disappointing.
Agree 100%. We all wish it would be a reality. Cost is the biggest restraint.
You mean our near monopoly of a transport system that is the automobile? I really wish we could get rid of cars in our dense walkable cities. Have people park them on the outskirts and take transit/bike/walk inside the city neighborhoods. Lots of cities in the EU are doing this very thing.
@@jhodapp yep
Which of these amazing human-powered vehicles did you like the most?
Like them all but I really like the biohybrid
Hello @interesting & creative Designs.
Can I get your email please.
The idea of installing a gear lever that switches between torque calculus and stored horsepower while accelerating on neutral and when you use break handle you convert kinetic into potential instead of friction burn.
The Pedelec Bio Hybrid 🙂
Pedelek (sp?) Biohybrid
I wish I could afford one of those that looks pretty cool
Wait, but they are "affordable" 😁 as much, as my old bmw
For some reason I don't know I like the Podride. Looked great pulling the little trailer (I have a trailer I pull with my ebike) but really stable even when sliding sideways. Several looked like a cross wind would tip them over but the one with the big storage box in back (removable) could make someone a lot of money doing deliveries in a small city. Without fuel to buy and an extra battery or 2 you could go all day. Electric cost jumped this year in our area, probably most areas, but a 10ah battery fully discharged is about .20¢ to charge it. I'm disabled but pedal fairly hard so 30ah would keep me riding all day. 5 day week that's $3.00 a week for electric charging... think about how much you can make in a week of delivery in a town about 6 to 8 square miles? And the best exercise shy of swimming. Try delivering pizzas by swimming across the lake 😂😅
These are AWESOME!
I love the Bio hybrid design...
the past month I have been thinking alot about building a cyclecart... but I wanna make it look like the old cigar shaped race cars... and I wanna base it on electric bikes...
Things like this make me excited for the future
Flintstones 3.0
Jokes aside, nice looking bike, bravo :) very cool project
So, Bio-Hybrid has gone bankrupt. To no surprise, I'm sorry to say. Most of these just look like more complicated e-bikes and take up more space than them too. Sure, it's cool to have a roof and a little more storage-space in the vehicle itself but these are comforts you can have on an e-bike for a lower price too. A normal leg-powered bicycle does the same for an even lower price, and it gives you more of a workout.
While I'd love to see these replace cars entirely, as it stands now I feel it's more worthwhile to spend money on a better bicycle and some accessories. But I'm more than happy with my bike and a backpack, no car or battery needed here.
I use my regular bike a lot more often than I use my ebike with trailer. If I need to carry a heavy or bulky load then I ride my ebike. I prefer the joy of a simple old style bicycle ride.
Sure, but a lot of people don't feel comfortable on two wheels, especially older folks and/or people with back pain. Also, these bikes are lower to the ground so the skill level required to operate safely is significantly less.
@@Burt1038 I am seventy and have damaged disks in my back. My balance isn't what it used to be. My bicycle is excellent therapy. A step through frame is becoming a necessity but I still ride my mixte frame bikes frequently.
I took a ride on a friend's trike and thought I would die from fright.
Also the VeeMo is nice too. I like the design and that it's easy to use. I still wonder if they are legal in the US?
but girls think this is boring and Nerdy
Im laughing so hard watching these. I think in the US you'd be laughed at everywhere. You'd never get laid if you drove one of these.
I love the concept of these.
Impressive.... I think ALL of them look cool!
