Meet the VOK U, a four-wheeled electric cargo bike that costs a massive $15,000 but needs no tax, insurance, or even a license. We put this automotive-grade "electrically-assisted pedal cycle" EAPC to the test in the city of Bath, racing it against a pro cyclist and finding out why businesses like Priority Express are using it to replace vans. Is this the future of urban commercial transport, or does it risk overloading our cycling infrastructure?

It's classified as an EAPC but has four-wheel drive and pedals that aren't attached to a chain. If more of these commercial vehicles start using bike paths, do you think it's a good trade-off for less pollution and noise, or will it just create new traffic problems for cyclists?
