The eBike firm Jetson Bikes shares the identify of the futuristic household, The Jetsons. However, disappointingly, that’s the place the similarities cease. I imply, their bikes don’t fly, make that cool “Jetson’s” sound…they don’t even hover.
So what’s the deal, you ask? Why even carry them up?
Effectively, first… you will get their Haze mannequin eBike at Costco for less than $549. Secondly… wait, after I was a child, the 12 months 2023 appeared like “the longer term”. It appeared so far-off. Supposedly, by this time we had been to have so many futuristically enjoyable issues like video telephones (okay, examine that one off the checklist), “slidewalks”, floating homes, robotic maids/butlers, and flying automobiles… the place are our flying automobiles?!
Nope, we get eBikes. I assume that’s cool…
