Hi, it must be below the seat. The gray boxes and the trailer carry mail. The trike seems to work ... --- :

I sort of guessed that, my comment was tongue in cheek humour poking a bit of fun at the electric vehicle "enthusiasts" we have on tp.

Hi, I answered literally, to be on the safe side, because eco-discussions can get very emotional and unravel any thread. Personally, I find electric bikes or trikes even more
"for enthusiasts only" than cars ... --- But Switzerland is an extremely rich, small country. - ( I stop here, trying to be pc (or ec)) ... ---

TBH, I'd be tempted by an electric motorbike but would want 150 mile range for it to be really practicable (for me). My current main rider only has about 100 miles in a tankful but can be topped up rather more easily than an electric! Once the charging infrastructure is improved though, I can see the rise of interest in electric bikes - possibly with a faster take up than electric cars have at the moment.

Hi, as you say, electric bikes might be practical sooner than cars.
(With electric cars, I need a range of 700 km with full functionality (70 mph average speed, heating a/c, heated/ventilated seats, stereo sound, communication, fully supported).
Until this is reached in real life - not just in the brochures - I stay with fuel cars ... --- )

I just found this old photo of my first road legal bike taken just after I had rebuilt it to do a big tidy up. It is still the only brand new vehicle I have owned and I wish I still had it. This is a flatbed scan from an old 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch print so no apologies for the quality.
