I had the chance to ride the Podbike Frikar just weeks before the company filed for bankruptcy. In this video, I’ll share my honest experience with this futuristic velomobile—what worked, what didn’t, and why I think such a promising concept ultimately failed.
We’ll dig into:
The overly ambitious design choices
Why development in Norway was a tough bet
Startup mistakes and missed opportunities
And more
We will also touch on many other aspects, including individual issues that the design and concept of the vehicle itself has struggled with.
👉 Share your thoughts in the comments—did you ride one? Would you still buy a Frikar if it came back? Or what would be your choice nowadays?
