well, yeah, there is that!
wishful thinking I know, but perhaps these will be a gateway into e-cargo bike ownership once people realise how convenient a smaller, economical vehicle can be?
maybe if a forward thinking car manufacturer like Citroen develop more alternate vehicles or assisted cargo bikes and convince people to invest in the brand?probably not though!

Small urban mobility vehicles have certainly never caught on before. BMW C1, Sinclair C5, Twizy, even the Smart has had zero impact on the type of cars we buy.
When you can get a perfectly good 4 seat petrol car for £1500 that costs buttons to run and works outside town it’s difficult to get folk to pay more money to compromise their comfort and practicality, especially when things like the Ami can’t filter so are no quicker than a Range Rover in town. Cars need priced / forced out of urban environments to make other vehicles prevalent.
At that point I’ll release my 3 wheel (tadpole), vertical velomobile with 500W / e35mph assistance motor, 2kwh battery and solar top up and change the world.

Great, as if we need more of the bastard things!
