"There's an upgraded version coming for the electric podbike Frikar named TwoZero, and it encases riders within a transparent canopy with a built-in fan. A four-wheel pedal-electric vehicle, the aluminum-built frame wraps around the rider and is made from polycarbonate. The transparent shell protects them from rain, snow, and wind, and at the same time gives them a clear view of the roads."
"It's similar to a car, but instead of stepping on the pedal all the time, riders pedal with electric assist as they move around cities. The canopy has integrated ventilation using the built-in fan and air filter to keep the air fresh inside the cabin, especially during extreme and humid weather conditions. For when it rains or snows, there's a windshield wiper on the front screen that riders can activate."
The TwoZero is an upgraded four-wheel pedal-electric podbike with an aluminum frame wrapped in a transparent polycarbonate canopy that shields riders from rain, snow, and wind while offering clear road visibility. The canopy includes integrated ventilation with a built-in fan and air filter, plus a windshield wiper for wet conditions. Riders pedal with electric assist and benefit from disc brakes on each wheel, separate front and rear levers, and four-wheel suspension to absorb bumps. The vehicle consumes about 15 Wh/km, achieves up to 60 km per charge using under 1 kWh, and uses removable batteries that swap in about 20 seconds. Adjustable seat and pedals fit riders roughly 155–200 cm tall, and lockable storage provides cargo space while the slightly wider-than-handlebar width suits narrow roads and bike lanes with improved stability over two-wheel bikes.
