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:

The "Deutsche Post" uses bicycles to deliver the mail. I see nothing wrong with an e-bike to deliver parcels.

That size is the issue I think

The size is a problem for suvs and other oversized vehicle. This vehicle is the right Size for the job.

[-] bitfucker@programming.dev -1 points 2 months ago

It being categorized as a cycle for the size is the issue I think. Because the German electric cycle that I saw is much smaller than those and they are a tricycle

[-] Michal@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Why would size be a problem? If it has the legal amount of power, more of it will just go towards fighting the wind resistance.

Clearance issue? Weight class? Turning radii?
