The bike is characterized by its [three-wheeled design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kettwiesel-one-plus) that enables the rider to maintain comfort when riding, while also enhancing overall balance when going around corners. The bike features a motor that's paired to the rear wheel that will provide up to 62-miles of pedal assistance thanks to a 460Wh [lithium-ion battery pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/centauri-ii), while hydraulic disc brakes will provide improved safety. The 'VeMoo' recumbent tricycle is currently in the prototype phase with the brand allowing interested parties to make a deposit on a production model that will start shipping next year for €12,000.
