Looking like a cross between a pedaled dump truck and a modern day motor carriage, the new Intelectra from German startup Dynamic Drives Giessen is a seriously muscular cargo mover for cities.
The pedals are additionally used as a controller to engage the electric motor & make it move (because that is “the electric bike”).
And one can still paddle without moving just by holding the brakes (to just fill the battery).
The pedals are still needed to generate power for the battery, regardless if the paddling motion also activates the electric motor (electric bike) or not (electric scooter).
