Image: A four-wheeled vehicle that appears to be a cross between a bicycle, a go-cart, and a mini-truck
Response text from high t alpha shemale @gluetaster: that’s not a cargo bike man that’s a loopholemobile
Edit: I found a slightly higher-quality version of the image:
I kinda get it, the pedals on the image shown seem a bit questionable and it does seem like a poor replacement for an electric < Kei truck / Tuk-Tuk >. Maybe with very light cargo and very good (expensive) gearing/drive-train, but that’s really stretching benefit-of-the-doubt. I could see stuff like that making more sense for special-use stuff like catering, moving, low-density waste transfer, or any sort of food-truck thing (that needs empty space) etc.
Compare it to something that looks more reasonable to pedal/handle like this:
Hope that image works, found by searching
e-quad cargo. Also, made by Mumbea Mobility but I also see similar-sized models by Fernhay
