ALT: blue tricycle with flatbed panels lowered

Maybe a more philosophical question, but my country classifies this gorgeous bastard as an electric tricycle because its max speed is locked at 25 km/h so it can be driven without any license.

fun fact, a mini version of this without a cabin is getting really popular with old people in rural areas as a way to replace their bikes because it lowers their chances of getting ran over by cars.

I assume it’s also being used as a covert disability aid since it looks less like something that would get you discriminated by ableists or by your mates at the pub.

back to the model in the picture, I also predict a big uptake by the people using horse-drawn carts to haul cargo/people. yes, we do have street-legal horse public transport, why do you ask? 🤭

    It’s dangerous. I don’t know about you, but I value my life over penny pinching.
