Fiido has introduced a new, particularly powerful e-bike, which is also supposed to stand out thanks to the especially high possible range that it offers. The bike should be compatible with various accessories as well and can therefore handle a lot of luggage too.
Battery weight is something you can move around the frame. That means you have some ability to lower the center of gravity, and also change aerodynamics. The same weight in a rider is worse for both in general. (this is one reason why recumbents are so good - they never caught on though - there might or might not be good reasons for that)
More food for thought is why the electric velomobile has not caught on. With its aerodynamic fairing paired with electric assist, this should ostensibly enable true independent, inter-city personnel transportation, cruising away at some 50+ kph.
I know the answer is probably to do with road infrastructure, but I can dream, can’t I‽‽ :)
Now we need the safety protection from a car, airbags and all the other things needed to make those speed semi safe for humans. Once you have that the contributions of the.humans is insignificant so we may as well call them a car and forget about pedals
