Government need to give away free electric bicycles or to subsidy with 90% to help economy and people in the same time.
We this action they will solve unemployment problem, pollution problem and expencive gas problem.

it draws inspiration upon an existing available bicycle : the velocino

I get frustrated with design “winners” that don’t actually improve functionality or easy of use.

Nobody needs an odd reverse mini-farthing, and nobody needs yet another electric bike that runs north of $5K.

It looks very impractical and appears to have been judged mainly on aesthetics. The IBDC often tends to favor very strange concepts, but this year the 1st and 3rd place winners do seem to have some merit.
