Podbike - A hybrid between car and an E-bike

[Marci jo]

I thought the design was very good and the pricing is amazing too for the level of engineering involved.
If only they had bicycle-specific highways, purchasing this over a car would be a no brainer. Maybe we will see something like this in 2035 when cities get denser and the population in metro cities forces people to take bikes over cars.

Thanks Ravi, for sharing this info.
My first thought: where’s the windshield wiper?
It’s so fascinating to see all the electric vehicles that merge the difference between cars & bikes. I’m sure each one has their niche.

Do they have to be that low to the ground?

Check out Bridgestone's concept of future ebike.

They're one of the largest ebike companies in the world. Definitely the biggest in Japan.
