Pedal-assisted

We've featured a number of cargo ebikes that are pitched as family car alternatives. We've also covered a bunch of velomobiles over the years. The ZET pedal-assist quadricycle combines the best of both for a family hauler, minivan or personal cruiser.

Canadian company Nireeka has been making absolutely outrageous ebikes for a few years now, and its latest performance-focused creation packs so much power it really should come with a statutory warning or three.

Cargo ebikes can be very handy when you need to haul stuff, but they're kinda big and clumsy when you don't. The Convoy C.01 was created with that fact in mind, as it temporarily converts regular bikes into e-cargoes within a matter of seconds.
