    Man, this is why we need more walkable cities. As great as it would be to roll something out like this in North America, the distances that would need to be covered in suburbs especially would be too much for something like this.

      Make them electric, lay bicycle paths that cut through the otherwise windy nonsensical suburban layouts, and you have something decent.

      It may not work for even more remote, even more spread-out areas but that’s okay.

      doesn’t america have way laxer regulations on e-bike speed? even at european speeds you can cover a significant part of chicago in an hour on an e-bike.
