Those engines look rather big for 250 watts.
Having said that, the advantages of local cycle deliveries over that of vans are obvious and it is high time that politicians took a hard look at substantially increasing the power of motors used for commercial deliveries.
The video showed a flat terrain which is very rare in the UK.
Even places that we think of as flat such as Salisbury plain or the Flanders plain have hills that would defeat a cargo bike limited to 250watts.

Who on earth thinks Salisbury plain is flat?
It's a fissured plateau. Great for tanks and playing war.

The motors are 500w 200rpm with 20amp controller.

looks great, specially the musketier, except that i'd worry about loosing the ability of a bicycle toweave through traffic, narrow tracks, park anywhere - i couldnt find the prices - including on the radkutche website - do you know what it costs?

Hi selrach1992,

Obviously the 3 wheel Musketier takes up more space than a 2 wheel bike but a lot less than a 4 wheel cargo/delivery vehicle and is ideally suited to city streets.
Prices for the Rapid are in €'s at the foot of this linked page http://www.radkutsche.de/Rapid.html and the Musketier here http://www.radkutsche.de/musketiere-353.html

Basically an electric Rapid is priced from €3699 and the Musketier from €4759.50.

Many thanks a,as a business solution that may be cheap (with a weak euro),but from a consumer perspective it does make electrifying a cargo trike oneself seem attractive
