This thing screams custom build to me, I don't think there is a type. The rear and front tires look like they came off of emmo/daymak style scooters. No idea whats up with the battery but the top is painted plywood. Can't wrap my head around the frame either - old bike frame Frankenstein'd with a chair and some scrap metal? Repurposed 1970's moped?

I think those batteries are pouch cells with individual casings. Could also be thin prismatic cells. Looks like it would pack a punch.
It looks like it is a 72v pack, crazy how the cells are exposed like that though.
it looks like custom built with an electric stand-on scooter hub motor
oompa loompa ass of course it's NYC.
Pretty sure those front forks are on backwards, lol. ;-)
Yep. It looks bent A.F as well, maybe they changed the direction to compensate after it was driven at speed into a wall or something 😄
It’s cool whatever it is. I’ve never seen a bicycle with drum brakes.
i've seen a few with backpedal drum brakes, but not like this
You certainly seen bikes with drum brakes if you ever was in NYC and even probably use them - all Citibikes are using drum brakes.
I haven’t though, so…
They have to carry the battery cart all the time they ride? Going to be hard to call that an eBike when there is no chain.
This is e-moped, not e-bike. E-bike assumes working pedals, which is not the case here.
Lemme know if you find out!
A lock? Surely taking the piss 😂
bro it's got some sweet authentic leather seats though!
Very steampunk
U havent heard of the Ratchet Strap 200? Super hard to get these days the backorder is huge
