Tiny, Think Real Small

This is my style.
Think urban overlander.
Forget boondocling, think homeless.

Big Brown is going small in test of e-cargo bikes

UPS will test the Fernhy eQuad electric cargo bike in congested U.S. and European cities.

So how does that work for you? You live on the street and sleep in the back?

The XBUS is more my speed.... > I mentioned these earlier; they are supposed to be shipping by year end. It's at the limit of "quadcycle" EU regs... but sadly not street legal in the US. Very light, 4WD, good ground clearance and payload, decent range, etc. You could actually boondock in it... and no pedaling!

That is pretty cool. But can I put 35s on it?

Nice, but three disappointing aspects, IMO. Top speed 100KM is 62MPH, just a bit faster to keep up in traffic. The other, I'd rather see a longer box for the camper. Having that slideout the back for the bed isn't impressive to me, it appears to be a soft sided or canvas tent extension. Not stelfy, less secure, don't know if it would be allowed in no tent areas of bear country. The range is only 100KM or 62 miles, I'm looking at an ebike that can do that!
