holy cow. A bike with 2 horse power?

Another "miracle" at a wild price close to a used gas scooter in developing countries...

For whom is it made, for what? He needs a garage already, because. like a bicycle, into an apartment in a high-rise building (and more than 70% of the world's population already lives in cities), you cannot drag it with your hands.

Developing countries need the lightest (up to 16kg approximately) reliable and cheap electric bike for regular trips on business (or out of town to the country) on not very good roads with a power reserve of 35-50km. This alone will reduce gas pollution in cities and their environs by several times. As well as the transition to electric vehicles, although in general the environmental situation in the world will change little. In order to change it strongly for the better, individual solar panels (or industrial generating capacities) with extremely high efficiency, above 60%, are needed.

Scooters are most popular in countries such as Thailand, where it is warm all year round, almost all dwellings are single-story and gasoline scooters are placed simply under a canopy. But in other countries, especially to the north, a bicycle (like an electric one) is most often used in the second half of spring, summer and autumn, and then it must be stored somewhere for the winter. And here in many countries the problem for a city dweller in a multi-storey building is most often no parking and there is only one option - a loggia, a balcony, etc. This means low weight and minimal dimensions.

There will be mass demand for electric cars and bicycles only when they become light, reliable and cheap (including long-term maintenance of several years) with sufficient range. In the meantime, this is more entertainment for the bored wealthy public from the "golden billion" ...
