Definitely an innovative and smart idea but at a very steep price. I can get a used car for less than $5K. I also wouldn't trust driving one of those in the winter.
Hi steemlit!
Yeh the price is a BIG problem at the sadly! - I think they will fall in price as the manufacturing costs go down with economy of scale production.
As for winter driving... I would rather be IN a peBl than ON a bicycle freezing in the rain! haha
Thank you for your input!
I think he @steemlit may have been talking about the practicalities of driving it in the snow. Some of us have real long commutes (me) + dealing with inclement weather to boot. For shorter distances - great. Except for the price...
Precisely what I was alluding to @chelsea88, thank you.
That's what i figured :)
I watched a video on this maybe a month or two back. Cool idea with a lot of limitations though.
Indeed whntx - The peBl is in its early stages for sure, I am just so happy electric bicycles are beginning to help solve the transport and environmental issues that beset us all!
keep well!
Such a snazzy way of getting around!
Sure is - i want one! ;D
