As cities search for cleaner, smarter ways to move people and goods, Karbikes offers an exciting solution. This innovative company is reimagining urban mobility by combining the practicality of a small vehicle with the low carbon footprint of a bicycle.
Sure, but we live in a world where these will coexist with standard cars, just as bikes often do now.
I don’t see how these ‘carbikes’ by Kubi focus on safety at all. They go from 25-35km/hr top speed and are as heavy as a petrol scooter / light motorbike, yet require and encourage no helmet and have very little in the way of safety features inbuilt (headlights, indicators, horn. End of list). They proudly state you don’t even need a licence to drive one (as you generally do for a motorbike).
So while they reduce top speed and weight of a car, they also lose 90% of the safety features and discourage any PPE you’d see a scooter/motorbike rider wear.
