  • Consider the humble bicycle-a simple, yet elegant two-wheeled machine that has served us well for 200 years. Now in its latest iteration, it’s the world’s number-one-selling electric vehicle. Capitalizing on this trend, three Dubai-based entrepreneurs are adapting electric bicycles to the demands of desert riding with rugged, motorcycle-like bikes that run on both pedal and electric power. It’s the coolest eco-friendly trend taking the desert by storm.

    I've tried the saluki fat bike (pedal assist) in the recent dubai cycle show..i think it will be more fun to ride it in off-road - desert, beaches...

    I live in Dubai and they managed to show some of the few areas of the desert not covered in rubbish left behind from people making BBQs driving 4x4s. Good works guys, doing something positive.

  • @rachidaaggoun4441

    everytime i watch a video of dubai i see a lot of people in the comments hating now don't get me wrong i'm not a big fan of dubai either but what i see is hypocrisy cuz a lot of nations do some fucked up shit and most of them are first world countries and i never see hate comments when i watch videos about let's say london or new york and UAE although is far from being perfect is at least trying to develop itself and modernize in all areas. i guess people just love hating on middle eastern countries no matter what they do. again, i'm not glorifying the bad things that already exist in dubai but UAE as a country has developed a lot in the past 10 years and i i hope they will even more in the next 10 years.

    Why not use graphite airogel formed in long strips with electrolyte inbetween layers compressed and rolled into a donut and sealed inside an aluminum rim with pancake coils for wireless energy transfer, then an aluminum tubular frame construction with graphite airogel power cells connected in series inside the tubular frame structure with a rewired drum motor with a vacuum spark gap to charge up the whole system to power the in hub electric motors?
