  1. So UK is “evolving” to the level of some sub-Sahara countries: “some day I will have enough money to buy a bike”.
    Probably human-powered rickshaws are next.

  2. And it’s really going to screw up the bikeway surface weighing that much 🚲

  3. “The legally-required pedals are not connected to a chain or a sprocket. Instead they send an electrical signal to the motors, with the speed of pedaling being linked to the power delivered.”

    It’s hard to make out from this article, but I think the pedaling does nothing more than a gas pedal in a car, except instead of pushing it you have to spin it. This thing is not human powered in any way. It was designed to meet the legal letter of the law to allow it to use bike lanes. It’s a crazy machine designed to take advantage of crazy laws.

    1. The pedals are indeed just performance art. This is a small electric truck – it’s obviously not a bicycle. I cannot believe how cynical the developers of this thing are – put performative pedals in the thing and make sure the motor is no more powerful than what the legislation allows, and it’s a bicycle. Just how stupid do they think people are?

      Oh, wait. People already believe that all these green measures are absolutely necessary or we’re all going to die. Maybe the company’s right – people are that stupid.

    2. Can you imagine what it would be like to actually “pedal” drive 650kg of battery packs and passengers? Let me correct the article … Fischer-Price would NEVER build a child’s toy as idiotic as this contraption

  4. That thing is about as green as Liz May’s arsehole.
    Probably around the same size as well.

    1. Thanks Buddy, I was reviously unaware of Elizabeth May’s arsehole. Now, I think I may need psychiatric help 😵

  5. This is what happens when JT’s ArriveCan abortion is crossed with a rickshaw. Mel Brooks couldn’t have done it better. All that’s needed are hulking drivers with “abby-normalled” brains.

  6. Man uses ingenuity to provide a service and make some money, the right craps all over him.
