'Bricycle' Electric Tricycle Looks Cooler Than It Sounds

by Nilay Patel on August 6, 2008 at 03:18 PM


Compared to the almost universally-embarrassing home-built electric vehicles we've seen pop up so far, the Bricycle electric recumbent bike is up there with the Tesla Roadster in terms of sex appeal -- even though it kind of looks like a futuristic delivery truck.

Designed to transport one person as efficiently as possible, the Bricyle (developed by someone named Brian -- clever) isn't completed yet, but it's got a 48-volt electric-assist motor for when you get tired of pedaling through the 21 bicycle gears, and disc brakes for quick stops. Sure, but can you get it in a color besides electric cucumber? [Source: Bricycles.com]
