      Is it a “bike” if there are no pedals? This is just a scooter.

      Scooters aren’t allowed in New York’s bike lanes, so the brothers designed a bike with regular assisted pedals, but those pedals can also be locked in place as footpegs for a scooter-type ride.

      It has pedals and you can pedal it... but fixed seats like that suck to pedal and nobody, including the company who designed it, is actually expecting you to pedal it.

        So a loophole to hog the bike lane with your scooter? Splendid

          It has to be said that the Infinite Machine Olto e-bike gives off Cybertruck vibes, though it’s small and kinda cute. The under-$3,500 “Class 2” contender, designed to conquer urban bike lanes at 20 mph and to be released in October, is the second product from the Queens-based Infinite Machine, following a similarly styled but […]

            What is going on with the price of ebikes?! They're insane, and out of reach for a casual rider.

              I'm not sure why the form factor really matters, feels more like bike lanes should be for small personal vehicles under a certain speed.

                Yup we used to call them mopeds. Nobody pedaled them either except to start them. This is an electric moped. They should nut up and call it that.

                    Top speed in the lanes is a governed 20 mph, but via its two-kilowatt rear hub motor the Olto can be liberated to do 33 mph off road.

                    Pretty sure those who buy it won't be self limiting themselves to 20mph, which is already a lot for most casual commuters.
