Meet the VOK U, a four-wheeled electric cargo bike that costs a massive $15,000 but needs no tax, insurance, or even a license. We put this automotive-grade “electrically-assisted pedal cycle” EAPC to the test in the city of Bath, racing it against a pro cyclist and finding out why businesses like Priority Express are using it to replace vans. Is this the future of urban commercial transport, or does it risk overloading our cycling infrastructure?

Yeah the range of quality on Alibaba is definitely quite a bit wider than at your local bike shop, but I’m totally of the belief that the top quality stuff is right there with the western name brands (it is where all their stuff is built too, after all). Thankfully if you dig around there’s some decent online communities where there’s people sharing good quality suppliers.
Fixing a cracked frame with tape is very funny, people definitely underestimate the forces going through a bike frame and how strong that steel/alu/carbon is!
