I'm all for clever engineering. And I'm all for getting folks out of big and bulky cars, especially those within cities. But at a certain point, you have to stand back and ask, "Are you sure about this?" This is one of those times, as when I first came across the Cixi Vigoz, I asked myself, "Are they sure about this?!"
Why, you ask? Because what you have before you is a 75mph-capable trike, fully enclosed, pedal-driven...thing. Yes, you read that right. This trike, which is semi-electrically powered, requires the driver/rider to pedal for the vehicle to continue moving. And if you don't, it won't go anymore, basically straddling the line between e-bike, small city car, and a recumbent bicycle with a joystick out of a plane.
I don't know about you, but that's a lot. Even Vigoz doesn't know what it is, as it states, "The VIGOZ is not a bike, but it’s still active. It’s not a car, but it's still safe and fast." Then what the hell is it?
