I personally think it could be a great alternative to cars and bikes for those who need to take a whole family somewhere or a decent amount of stuff.
Only modifications I would make would be ride-by-wire and an extra set of pedals (so you can have two people pedalling without the annoyance of normal tandem bikes having to pedal at the same rate), and a more powerful motor (only 250W is legal in France, where this was designed, whereas 500W is legal here in Canada)
I think it’sa wonderful idea. Maybe some sort of removable panels for inclement weather?
I've seen at least some picture or videos where they have a detachable wind/rain screen for the front. Would probably help a lot with rain, wind, and snow.
