Modern transport for short distance
(lemmy.nz)
My strong belief is this type of transport is what we really need to adopt en masse.
It can carry 2 adults or 1 adult and 2 kids, has enough boot space to do your shopping, and protects you from the elements (which is the #1 issue with bicycles).
If there was a way these could be mass produced so they are cheap enough for people to justify.. that would be a game changer.
Here in Germany you can buy slightly larger electric micro cars, with a speed limit of 45km/h and 60+km range for a 6000€ or so. There are even a good number of different manufacturers to choose from, althou they are all Chinese.
