Velomobiles and Electric Bikes / Scooters

Another Pricey Velomobile

"Czech company Katanga has created VM45" but the price tag is $12,129.15

E-bikes are efficient, but nothing beats this 400 mile range electric recumbent trike

"It can go 100 miles further than a Tesla Model 3 with just 1/10th of the battery. That’s just cool." Price: $5,888.15

Absolute CHEAPEST electric scooter I can find

Hover-1 Pro Series, BOSS R500: $69.99 with 24 mile range



Velomobiles need to be down where electric bikes are, like this Propella 7s, highlighted by Wired Magazine, for $799.00 with a 20-40 mile range. Then we can get to work with a rain cover. This becomes the standard car.
