For so many people a vehicle like that combined with membership of a car club would cover all their transport requirements. I am a member of a car club here in Brighton & Hove city and I love it. About once a month I use a car or a van when I want to go some distance or take a load of rubbish to the recycling centre. All other journeys are by bicycle. However people who don't want to ride a bicycle could use the vehicle in this video for daily commuting etc. then when they need to visit auntie in Wales they can use a car from a car club. I think commuting in that vehicle would be so much better than using a car for most people. 07:31 - Stewart always steals the show when he's on.

@@mariuspm Yeah, but then you'll wind up with quality going the way it does - look, for example, at early-model products from most major PC companies- HP, Compaq, Dell... they were all built originally like industrial/military grade hardware, and could withstand almost anything. Apple too, for that matter, when you look at a Mac Pro from say the late 1990s vs a newer model - the 90s one will probably still be in far better condition, even with heavier use. They also COST a lot more, so.... there's a trade-off in making new products: Do you want to pay more and get the best of the best... or do you want cheap and "well, it's technically good enough for now... while it lasts." Unfortunately, most consumers will simply buy the absolute cheapest example, then assume ALL products of that kind are equal or lesser quality to the cheap no-brand knockoff. It's a vicious cycle. Also, this is a pretty vicious looking cycle. ;-)

This is what I keep saying and not many get it . Riding an electric bike allows you to still get exercise but you don't turn up sweating and smelling . You feel refreshed but not exhausted . Also if the law changed to 500W like mot other countries then you would keep up with the flow of traffic while still getting exercise . Also if you reduce the assist level you can get your training in . Think of it as exercising but at a faster speed and not holding everyone behind .
@TheBushdoctor684 жыл бұрын
I live in Holland where *everybody* uses bikes, and let me tell you: *Nobody* uses them to get some exercise. That is the very reason why many cyclists get electric bikes nowadays, because they do *not* want to strain themselves. If you design a mini-car, that costs the price of a mini-car, and you tell your customer he still has to peddle, they will laugh in your face. Because they were looking for a mini-car, not a bike. If you want to sell this to bikers, they will laugh in your face, because nobody is looking to pay the price of a mini-car while they just want to peddle to work. This may come as a surprise, but daily cyclists know how to deal with rain, and stay dry while they ride their bikes. This is not the first attempt at such a vehicle. We've seen many covered bikes in the past, and there just isn't a market for them. Cyclists don't want them, and businessmen certainly don't want them. I mean, seriously? They think there's a chance selling them to people who normally drive their expensive company cars and spit on cyclists getting in their way? And what's with the name that sounds like something my washing machine does?? I realize it's a pun, but still... Seriously, the one thing this project needed, was some decent market investigation: Checking whether or not people are interested in buying something like this, for the intended price, before they start making them. Because let me tell you: History shows that they are not interested. Make it a full-on electric mini-car, and you got a shot. This is a matter of mixing two market segments hoping for an overlap, but there is none. It's like a flying car: Drivers can't afford them and don't want them, and pilots want something that doesn't fly like a brick.

All velos need a reverse ratchet gear (just like with socket wrenches) for pedalled reversing and, with either a "backup beeper" (maybe a bell that is itself ratcheted to only ring when the wheel to which it could be attached is moving in reverse) or, taking a cue from American railways, the driver giving three signals (by horn or bell) to at least get people's attention that one's moving.

I sort of see where they're going with it but 100kg and terrible aero compared to a traditional velomobile (even with electric assist) seems like a major step backwards. A normal velomobile with a hood and E assist will be faster, more efficient, better able to cool the rider, just as easy to see, and just as comfortable. This has all the disadvantages of a velomobile whilst also giving most of the advantages away. I don't see it working.

It is a product that could work, for a limited market. The pleasant thing, it is electric, not like the contraptions in Amsterdam, driving while using a 49cc two stroke engine.

The wheelbase is too shallow, the front wheels need to move forward. With such short wheelbase it's going to be a very bumpy ride. I don't know why your feet need windows. Speaking of which, the windshield seems like it could shrink a bit to reduce frontal area and total height (along with the rollbar.) This is one of those vehicles that requires a motor for reasonable travel, and seems more like a crappy car weaseling around automobile laws rather than an extension of the bicycle. If you took out the pedals, the utility would be unchanged. If you took out the motor it would be cumbersome to the point of uselessness. That being said, I like the ability to go in neutral to shift gears, and more velomobiles should explore a reverse gear.

Very interesting would like to see a little door on one side to make it easier for their target market to get in and out of, or a deeper dip in one side. I think for a healthier alternative to sitting in a car it is a great concept. They are thinking out details like covering components but how easy will it be to do maintenance work on. Price is a bit high and that is usually where these take a nose dive when going to market. This is not a velomobile and the jury is still out if there is a market and audience for this type of transportation. The price will be a hurdle to get over. The first person to be able to build this type of transportation for around 6k usd might be able to crack the market. The electrom does not have the full weather protection but is nimble and a little more customizable. Very interesting thank you for the video great job.

To top it off, it costs the same as an electric car that can carry 4-5 people or a large amount of cargo, and travel relatively long distances at speed (at this price point up to about 130 miles dependant if new or nearly new).

After the last video showing the initial ride, I had a think about it further and came to the conclusion that you'd be absolutely screwed if you tried to commute in this. It's bad enough trying to squeeze through traffic on a two wheeled bicycle, never mind something as wide as this. On my eleven mile commute, I'm effectively riding through a solid traffic jam and it feels like I'm running the gauntlet/navigating an obstacle course. It's really really bad and I say that as a very experienced cyclist. There are still very few dedicated cycle lanes in London, particularly in the west and it's no surprise that the video appears to have been filmed outside of rush hour and in areas where there are segregated cycle lanes. Until London has a more developed network of these cycle lanes (probably decades away), I can't see these four wheeled bicycles working. It's a shame as I've always liked the idea of them and I'm sure they'd be great fun to ride - but not at that price!

The price for this is insane, almost $19,000 US dollars!!! Who in their right mind would pay that much for a ebike with a plastic cover and 2 extra wheels. Good idea, bad price.

The automobile industry has optimized production costs so extremely well, mostly due to the large amount of units that are sold. Goverment should supplement technologies like this to get the industry off the ground. Culture and infrastructure will follow.

I would change the steering system to a easy regular steering wheel and solar panels on the roof so that it automatically charges when parked or on the go without the need of always peddaling

If you want people to exchange their car for this thing, it would seems sensible to have controls that mimic a car's, e.g. steering wheel, hand brake, indicators. You should be able to step in, never having ridden anything like this, and just ride it.

Really not bad idea, but the design looking like plastic toy, why no one can create something worth? Yes I am sure it's fun to drive and I would like to test one of these, but I wouldn't like to pay for it 15k. The mobile transportation is not available, what is available, not affordable yet, unfortunately, otherwise was waiting for this video, thanks for sharing;)

Great review. Looks great! But 15000E! The Arcimoto is 19k US and no peddling hwy rated. And I understand the economics and environmental and health...... But when are we going to get someone manufacturing things like ELF, PEBL and this that the low income earnings can afford. We need these produced at 3k and sold for 5k to make a real impact to our world. I wish them all the best with tons of sales. Cheers

@@jazldazl9193 That is a good step forward. Very nice design for the price. I am now learning Freecad to design one myself. My hope is to contribute some along the lines like XYZ builds using just aluminum and Plexiglas. And make the design available to the general public diy'ers. Cheers

Hi John, never seen you in a suit before! A small foldout step could improve the accessibility for those of us with short legs or inappropriate clothing. I would give it a 9 out 10 if had that. All the best. Roy

Fascinating for city commuting, if you live in the same city/town where you work. One observation though.... what happens when you get to your destination and it's chucking it down with rain. You have to get soaked while you open it up to get out. Or when you've finished work and you need to get into it. You have to open it to get in, your seat will get soak again. Otherwise great concept for cities.
