Tricycle? No Bicycle!

At first sight this has all the makings of a tricycle, but on closer inspection it is a bicycle. A slight model on the old penny farthing I might add. All fun in the cycling world.

An Electric Powered Tricycle

This is an electric powered tricycle made by a company called Gomier. With 450 watts of power it is powerful enough for speeds up to 8 mph (limited due to tipping over) and steep hills. It gives around 8-10 miles per charge without pedalling or up to 25 with pedalling. With a price tag of around £1300 it is out of my reach. Not to sure that tricycles are good fro urban riding as they cannot weave like conventional bicycles although that is what it had in mind.
