The Wheelys 2 is an electric cargo trike that doubles as a mobile coffee shop. The wheeled contraption was created by the Nordic Society For Invention and Discovery in Sweden.
While the first Wheelys 1 was non-electric and was pretty similar to any old ice cream-vending trike. However its successor includes a wide variety of interesting features. For one it comes with electrically or manually pumped running water, an animated LCD menu board that be connected to the operator's smartphone, a 20-liter water tank, a speaker for playing music, a router for converting the trike into a Wi-Fo hotspot and a roof that can be lowered while riding.
The Wheelys 2 is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign. A pledge of $7,000 will get you a Wheelys 2.
