20- years ago them first scooters were not practical to use as a work load vehicle. Strictly them scooter bikes were meant for kids of a minimum speed and range.

More pipe-dreams. Nothing new really, cargo bikes are only about 130 years old and in that time they have found very few real uses. I like the idea and they may have a place and serve a purpose somewhere but security is non-existent. Four guys could pick it up, fully loaded, and drive away.

I don't think people realize, the practicality of e-bikes. I can pull a trailer with little or not effort, even up hills. WHY we haven't gone to e-bike transport sooner...is beyond me.
@@justpassingthrough4802 In comparison to what? Car? Electric bike is way cheaper and healthier. Manual bike? Way more range and less negative impact of hills and stuff.
The accent's not bad, he's actually very understandable. I don't know, but I'm guessing that the problem is that the writers didn't completely write out the script, and that the narrator doesn't know anything about what the specs signify.
You just could build a really light three or 4 whell car with an efficient 50 or 100ccm motor and all transportation problems would be solved. You could have done that since one hundred years.
There is a trade here. Lower the CO2 but electric motors produce Ozone. Before you come back at me, look it up. I learned about ozone, lighting creates ozone, electric motors has small sparks going on which creates ozone.
yeah this is pretty stupid. It has its place but if you think this is going to transform the entire logistical industry...Lol. before you say anything, i rode my e-bike every day to work. Having work with delivery/courier services before in my younger days, one person is expected to hit 30-50 targets a day and a package could be as heavy as 20-30 kilos. This measly e-cargo bike won't cut it and it only mean a logistic company needs 2-3 more workers to cover the range of a driver with a cargo van.

sortimo cargo is not produced anymore. (actually produced by HNF Nicolai) concept was not really good enough to compeet. there is a different company with the same concept (pedalpower xloader). cooperating with a university researching for a selfriding cargobike.

The problem is you can buy a decent used car for a price of an e-bike which is not even a cargo bike. Some cargo bike is more expensive than a cheaper new car. Something went wrong again. The idea was very good but on the process the greed destroyed the whole thing again or simply the small volume manufacturing is still a very outdated solution when you want to make average things for average people. The e-cargo bikes/motorbikes fate is the same like the e-cars. They are way too expensive for average guys, so their market is very limited and very small.
Dunno, but in my opinion, only Velove Armadillo looks somewhat credible for small cargo delivery. But choosing hydrogen fuel cell as a power source and providing no cover\shelter for the driver is...strange, at least.
why build a bike when you can just build a scooter that you can sit on. And have removable plug in battery on the trailer compartment, that you are pulling. That way you can travel long range or have long operation time. You can simply pull out the battery and install a new charge battery and off you go again.
Nice bikes when you go to the beach and take a few beers, and a towel with you. Without the car parking hassle. I just do not see any practicality for small shops or cafe's. Deliver me 5 casks of 50 ltr beer, 10 cases of coca-cola. 2 boxes of beer glasses, 20 ltr of liquor, 2 bar stools, 10 ltr. of cleaning agent, coasters, 4 boxes of deep frozen bitterballen, etc, etc..
