Valentin Vodev, an industrial designer and a resident of Vienna, created the Vienna Tricycle. The electric tricycle is outfitted with pedal assistance so that it drives like a regular bike. Its rear mounting system secures various attachments and carries up to 40 kg of cargo, making the design ideal for urban or small town shopping and delivery. The design is foldable for portability and narrow for ease of parking.  Equipped with a lithium-ion battery, the trike travels as far as 60 km at speeds of up 25 km/h, all on a single charge. See the innovative commuter in motion on Youtube.
