Back in 2020, Brooklyn's Civilized Cycles launched a low-step ebike called the Model 1 that features expandable hardshell panniers on either side of the rear wheel. For its next project, the company is aiming to haul significantly more cargo.

Lámpago has revealed its first electric vehicle. The fun-looking short-haul ride merges urban e-trike vibes with vintage micro-car design, offers luxury seating for two, a bunch of branded accessories and even includes a spare tire mounted to the back.
