Text: Amazon's electric cargo bikes have arrived in DC.

Image: A four-wheeled vehicle that appears to be a cross between a bicycle, a go-cart, and a mini-truck

Response text from high t alpha shemale @gluetaster: that's not a cargo bike man that's a loopholemobile

Edit: I found a slightly higher-quality version of the image:

Three wheels. This is just throwing it in everyone's face that Amazon can do what they fucking want. Regs are that a "bike" can be a three wheeler, but 4 wheels is a CAR.

    yes, it's a four wheeler. That's what I mean, though. This would not be considered a bicycle if you or I wanted to register it or get it approved as such. Different tules for Amazon.

    It would be, probably limited for business use so any business. If you're trying to go off the etymology of bicycle yes it doesn't have 2 wheels, but the common use now of bicycle is pedal powered which this is (pedal assist).
