Car-Bike Hybrid Could Be the Future of City Travel

Looks like a rolling COFFIN.

 

Washington state would actually regulated as a trach. They have a separate trike endorsement for motorized 3 Wheel Rd. vehicles

 

I think the key to adoption of small vehicles is low price. I believe there is a massive demand for low cost personal travel. Whoever brings to market a reliable, cheap, and practical means of personal transportation will sell millions. The time for it is now more than ever. The biggest hurdle to adoption I see is sharing the road with the crazy masses of brain dead drivers in vehicles that weigh 5 times what small vehicles weigh.

My prediction is that no matter what happens, transportation will look completely different in a dozen years.

 

Some of the electric bicycles look promising.

i want one ,not to commute but for riding around the neighborhood.
Walking is way too slow and I have asthma and other issues and can’t ride except on flat ground and I live in an area with lots of hills .

 

The Super73® Electric Motorbike
I’ve talked to a couple of folks with the super73 .
It has a 40 mile range and will do 60 mph with some software mods to remove the speed limiter .

The Best Electric Bikes in 2022 - E-Bike Reviews

The problem is the good electric bicycles cost as much as a used car .
$4k will get you a nice used car if you know how to shop and what to shop for .

 

I'm torn on the e-bike. On one hand, pretty neat. On the other its like geeze how hard is it to pedal a dang bicycle?

 

I think a lot of the cost of vehicles is all the tech #### they pile into them.

Honestly I'd love to be able to buy a bare bones pickup with 350-400 hp, 4WD, 5 speed manual, no A/C and a basic stereo for $25k or less. I don't need any of the nanny crap, cameras, lane departure, stability control etc.

 

It wouldn’t be a motorcycle. It would be classified under whatever E-bike category it falls under.

 

Kinda like the Dale back in the mid 70s by the sounds of it.
