Text: Amazon’s electric cargo bikes have arrived in DC.
Image: A four-wheeled vehicle that appears to be a cross between a bicycle, a go-cart, and a mini-truck
Response text from high t alpha shemale @gluetaster: that’s not a cargo bike man that’s a loopholemobile
Edit: I found a slightly higher-quality version of the image:
do accelerator and brake pedals count?
The opposite leg stance in the image make these look like rods off of a center ctrank. And its a beam frame. Here if you have an electric bike but it has e-assist pedals rather than a hand throttle then its considerable a bicycle for road rules.
Here’s another 4 wheeler “bike” from Amazon delivery
From the DC article.
“The cargo ‘e-bikes’ use electric bicycle drivetrains and include pedals with a pedal-by-wire system common in three- and four-wheeled cargo e-bikes that translates the user’s pedal power into forward motion via an electric motor.”
As much as this is no longer a bike, its still a bike by law sadly
