VeloMetro introduces e-bike/car hybrid and co-sharing plan

We can’t quite classify the Veemo prototype as an e-bike, it’s also not really a car as its still electronically limited to a top speed of 20mph (because beyond that would classify it as a motor vehicle). The prototype from Vancouver-based startup VeloMetro still needs you to pedal it but it will rely on whether you want more or less help from its built-in electric motor. It comes with an electric assist feature.

This tricycle is also enclosed in an aerodynamic body to help protect you from the elements. Once available, it can be an ideal vehicle/e-bike to take to and from work. Plus, you still don’t even need a license to use it and you won’t even have to own it.
