The video shows someone driving it without a horse at ebike speeds, but the product page doesn't list the motor or battery specs. We could have entire cities full of these if we abolished cars. CyberMozart 1777.
Im afraid that electric horseless carraiges were actually the first thing to be invented. There was a window in the late 1800s were battery and motor technology was just as if not more viable as ICEs and as with steam power the first attempts were usually just "replace the horse". Then ICEs got to the point were risk of death was at an acceptable level and the allure of going over 15km/h killed them.
