Electric bicycles with some pretty fun and even outrageous designs have been spun out there, and today’s pick of the litter is no exception. The TRIPL Urban Cargo funky e-scooter blends the lines, offering cargo space elegantly.
7 years in, I have tens of thousands of miles in the saddle of different e-bikes, but it turns out I have never owned a factory built model. I have always built them myself, to suit my needs.
