    It’s fine as long as it’s limited to about 40kmph zones. Its basically same as goods rickshaw in India or motor tricycle in Philippines.

            Can you do anything uniquely fun in them? They’re so damn slow, they’re a last resort when there’s nothing to grapple.

                Any modern games scratching the same itch? I’ve tried Far Cry and a bunch of others, but there is something uniquely charming about JC2.

      nah… limitation for those things should be, that the electric motor only adds like 20% to the power output provided by the cyclist
