“But tires”
Ban all vehicles over 5000lbs to start without a specialized license and extremely heavy fees to have them. EVs are dropping in weight daily, ICE vehicles have been increasing in weight to dodge policies. One is a means to an end, the other is a means to profit.
Profit for few vs humanity’s existance… which should we choose?
I think
$1000$600 flat one time is definitely worth being able to get places via escooter. No gas, no insurance, no loans or leases (with the exception of Unagi scooters which are like $80 a month). Oh and riding boosts coordination while also not trapping you in a stressful metal box. One costs way less, is better for your physical and mental health, is easy to park in crowded places, but everyone prefers the opposite lolIf I could ride one without risking my life even more than I already do in a car, I’d love to get to work and back on one of those. But there are no bike paths, sidewalks, or any other scooter friendly options for me.
If you can ride while protected from the local traffic, absolutely consider this option!
Also, this only works in places with mild winters, or in the summer. Those scooters don’t work great in the snow.

It really depends on the brand. Same with bikes.
The snow absolutely pelting my face is one of the best things I’ve ever experienced
