It's a yike bike. It's seems impractical but its a cool concept

That's interesting, I've never seen it before but it looks like its only available in Europe.

We refer to that as an electric barstool. Not sure how it qualifies as a bike.

This is kind of similar except seemingly more fun:

Goes 12.5 mph, range is 6 miles, cost is 3500 Euros. My moped goes 30 mph, unlimited range (140 miles on a tank full of gas, 106 mpg), and cost $1300. It's also made in Europe, and has proven itself to be reliable and durable, with 7000 miles in two seasons of riding.

My Bianchi Veloce is made in Italy and points east. It has a top speed of as fast as you can pedal it or terminal velocity, whichever is higher. It will go at least 12 miles on a cup of oatmeal and retails for $1700.00 although I paid significantly less than that.

My bicycle cost $89 in 1972. It was made in Japan. It gets 300 mpg on Dairy Queen blizzards. But it's becoming increasingly hard to find 27" tires for it : (

Not to worry. Just replace those old 27 inchers with a set of 700c wheels and you shall have an abundance of tires to choose from.
