Just enough space for one adult and an electric motor combined with a conventional powertrain. You can even drift!
With conventional powertrain purpose I however, it is not an internal combustion engine, but on the conventional powertrain of a… bike! Stairs you will! This cheeky little cart is by its Swedish manufacturer came up with the large gap between car and bicycle what to make it smaller. Cycling is quite very fine for short distances, but then it must be right. That is in the Netherlands not always the case, let alone in Sweden.
Mikael Kjellman has done everything to his PodRide as light as possible, and with 70 kilos seems, that worked out nicely. So, the body is of cloth, the windows are plastic and you need the wiper itself to operate. Do you get LED headlights, an electric raamondooier, a sun visor and even some luggage space. The 250 Watt electric motor and associated battery from a regular electric bike. Without stairs you can reach speeds up to 25 km/h.
The big question is, would you leave your car be and for the short to medium range PodRide consider? I suspect that especially @parker, perhaps our biggest fan of boodschappenautootjes, this new mode of transportation will be able to appreciate…
