You can do a lot of things with the Tesla Cybertruck, but you can't tow it behind your ebike to sleep in on "bike-packing" trips. You can, however, do exactly that with the Cybertruck-inspired Cyberdrop trailer – or at least you will be able to, once it reaches production.
I’d like to start by saying that I’m not trying to be a hater. Anything that gets people on a bike instead of in a car is a positive in my book.
That said, is no one concerned with the width of some of these things that are being designed? Yes, I understand that cyclists should take the road lane when there is not a bike lane etc. but I just don’t see how the sheer size of these things is appropriate, especially in the US. People would run this shit off the road so fast because carbrain. Also, if your goal is bikepacking, how is this conducive to getting to a desirable location to set up camp? You’re not getting anywhere remote or isolated with this thing in tow.
Genuinely curious to hear how others feel about these big bulky things getting in bike lanes and on shoulders. The delivery truck replacement bikes are another example of something I have lots of questions about when it comes to the safety of other road users (other cyclists).
This thing seems a bit more gimmicky than practical and we probably wont see too many on the streets, but I’d definitely feel extra nervous about huge cargo bikes that are loaded down with thousands of pounds just Iike I am about trucks (especially from cheap shitty companies with garbage bin parts).
