German mobility startup Dolas eBike has unveiled a modern utility take on a tandem bike with the launch of the Defender 250. The odd-looking ride features three motored wheels, 4-inch fat tires, a 180-kg battery and a load capacity of 250 kg.

    On one hand, yes, two riders can be in-line – but by that logic, all long-tail cargo bikes could be “tandems” and that just doesn’t feel right.

    I’d say it’s not really a tandem unless the stoker can stoke (i.e., it’s got a second functioning crank).
