    This is a tiny E-car, not a large E-bike. Change my mind.

    It has an air filter and optional heating, and I highly doubt a set of pedals.

    I don’t dislike it, it’s better than a car, but perhaps this signals a need for a category that includes whatever this vehicle is. Mobility scooters may fall into the same category.

      Being able to lock it at a normal bike rack is also looking like a no

      For 6K it looks nice, but a cargobike like a Tern or even regular ebike with trailer would be much easier to lock up IMO, while being able to carry kids or shopping

      My city has free staffed bike parking and I can’t see that thing being able to get around the first corner into the building 😳

        Where do you have free staffed bike parking? And how many at what kind of distances?

    This seems pretty neat at first. But like all the lay-down bicycles it has the fatal flaw of being extremely low to the ground. I mean, if you get overlooked run over by an SUV that’s probably the SUV drivers fault, but still your broken body.
