Looking like a cross between a pedaled dump truck and a modern day motor carriage, the new Intelectra from German startup Dynamic Drives Giessen is a seriously muscular cargo mover for cities.
Its like the i3 with rex (“range extender”) - an electric car with petrol engine generator.
But a bike.
I really like the concept (& I’ve been waiting for such thing to pop up in usable form in cargo bikes).
It’s used in boats, ships, and other heavy machinery, but with internal combustion engines.
This is the delivery service vehicle cities need. The operator paddles the generator continuously and independently of traffic or if moving, and on their own terms (how/when hard/fast).
