Car like bycicle or a new generation of bikes that features at least three pedal assisted wheels, an electric motor and lots of other curiosities as well as being perfectly in line with green technology.
This time we are going to discover a couple of truly Car-like-bycicle models and add one of the most curious initiatives we have collected: that of a Swedish startup that recycles coffee pods.
For example, Scarab is a cargo bike. Its body is light and protects from the cold and bad weather.
It really looks like a small car and is equipped with parking sensors, a guidance system with radar, transponder and GPS. Its engine also runs on biofuel, has four-wheel drive and a regenerative braking system.
Car like bycicle that look like a shell, just like the Pod Bike.
It’s called Frikar and if you book on the site now at least you will receive it in 2022 forwarded.
It reaches 25 kilometers per hour with a range of 90km. It is equipped with internal heating and could give you some parking problems because it is more than two meters long and 84 centimeters wide.
But it is definitely worth it: its concept comes from prehistoric times and looks like an updated model of the Flintstones car.
In addition to what is called car like bycicle, there is also the project of a Swedish startup that decided to build a bike by recycling the aluminum of Nespresso disposable pods.
For each bike you need 300 and Re: Cycle (this is the name of the bike) is built through a patented process that transforms the pods into raw material suitable for making the bicycle frames.
Among other things, Re: Cycle has a respectable configuration (in addition to an extremely elegant line as a City Bike)
