Cambridge Labour MP Daniel Zeichner got behind the bars of a CitiPod, a vehicle Cambridge Electric Transport is calling the future of transport.

The CitiPod, a venture by entrepreneur Peter Dawe, is pedal-powered and electric assisted.

Mr Zeichner said: “Much-improved battery technology and light, tough protection makes the citipod a genuine option for short journeys, and it’s great fun!

“I’m a strong advocate for electric bikes, and this takes ebikes a step further, providing protection to make it an all-weather vehicle at an affordable price – my only question, do you do it in red?”
