That, or drastically smaller vehicles such as e-bikes. Especially if you can take them on a larger vehicle (i.e a train) for part of long commutes.


i wish we had proper cycle storage on all trains, it is extremely awkward to place them on transport.

U also wish EU didnt have the silly 25 km/h limit on ebikes, I can pedal faster than that myself


For taking a bicycle on the train, may I suggest the Brompton folding bicycle? Electric version also available.

Also, did you know about the EU speed pedelec category L1e-B? It gets classified as a moped with maximum speed of 45 km/h and maximum 4 kW power.


Electric "unicycles" seem much easier to transport on trains than a bike. Though I wonder if they're considered "e-bikes" in the EU.


they are banned on the london transport network, supposedly due to danger of lithium battery fires. But self-built ebikes are not banned
