OK, she may be riding a trike and may have recently treated herself to a motor but this is nonetheless an impressive feat of utility cycling: BBC - Capital - 'I hadn't been home for three years': One migrant's struggle

Pretty neat! Tnxs.

In the West, that rig would earn her a tasing, ticketing, jailing, licensing, impounding, towing charge and forced safety training to name a few. For her safety, of course.

Styrofoam, and all hollow boxes too.

It is a big load, but I bet it hardly weighs 100 lbs.

I think the biggest issue is loading the bike so one has zero side or rear visibility. Perhaps made up by foam crash protection.

The video says "electric motor", but it sounds like a small gas engine to me.

I dunno ... It takes a heck of a lot more than 100 pounds hanging off the back of my trike to raise the front wheel off the ground like that ...
