Single-Seater Bicycle Automobiles

Alexandre Pain Designs the Le Buddy Buggy-Style Commuter

French startup company KILOW has introduced the Le Buddy, which is a single-seater bicycle car designed by Alexandre Pain. This is made with inspiration from the two-seater La Bagnole electric UTW and now, the structure is designed more specifically for an outdoor lifestyle to travel in and around the city.

The car gets the technical expertise of CIXI, which is a brand that is known for its electronic cranksets. Le Buddy is a low-carbon emission rural mobility car that is great for those who want to get from one point to another and don't want to invest in a heavy-duty vehicle. The structure has a chainless electronic crankset for a unique mobility experience and the tires are thin yet stable.
