is it a bike if it has a roof and four wheels?

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Going by the 1968 vienna contract definition which is still in effect: yeah

"any vehicle which has at least two wheels and is propelled solely by the muscular energy of the persons on that vehicle, in particular by means of pedals or hand-cranks."

caveat for the electric motor that only supports you pedaling and up to speeds of X with Watts of Y and all but yeah, that's a bicycle.

I don't even think this is amazon skirting regulations, unless you up-end the entire system you can't really define a bicycle any better. There should be more bicycles like this.

Oh come on you can't call something with 4 wheels a bicycle. Bi is in the name, this is just more bi erasure

the swiss have solved this issue by calling it a velo. we could also return to velocipéde. Not the bicycles fault everyone got that one wrong
