=====Electric-assist pedicabs=====
Berlin's Senate, police, and taxi associations finally agreed that the "cult-flitzer" could be integrated into the city's traffic flow. Germany's highest court later ruled that transporting people on bikes was legal. It is a modern and newly designed pedicab (CityCruiser) with a 500-watt electric assist motor. Although these electric-assist pedicabs were engineered in Germany they are manufactured in the [[Czech Republic]] and some clones are now also produced in China. The Chinese clone can be purchased for about 3,000 [[United States dollar|US dollars]]; the German original is around 6,000 US dollars (the newest version, 9000+ [[euro|€]]). The batteries last about 4 hours with a full charge. As with a few recumbent and semi-recumbent designs, some drivers may suffer with knee and joint pain due to the weight of the vehicle (145&nbsp;kg).{{Citation needed|date=April 2013}}
