This is a compact electric bike targeted toward pet owners, as it contains a small compartment under the seat that is the perfect size for a small dog or cat. As a result of this, Good Shape often refers to the Pony as the 'Dog Bike.' The crowdfunding campaign is currently live on Makauke, a Japanese website similar to [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epopcycle) and [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaftdrive-folding-ebike). The bike retails for ¥139,860, or roughly $1,000 USD. For this price, customers receive a compact e-bike powered by a 400-watt electric motor and a removable 15 Ah battery. These specs result in a top speed of 35 kph, or roughly 22 mph, and a range of 40km, or roughly 24 miles.
