The smaller you make a gas vehicle, the uglier, noisier, dirtier, they become . In addition, they are proportionally less efficient. So small gas vehicles are generally a bad idea: they are responsible for much of the horrific pollution you see in much of asia. . But electric vehicles downsize beautifully: they are always quiet, clean, and very efficient. Given that 75% of all trips we make in cars today are within 10 miles, and the average number of people in a car is 1.7, very small electric vehicles could make a major difference in our cities. Right now, the only type of micro electric vehicle that is surging in a major way, is the electric bike. But I believe that NEVs should also become a major part of the mix. I disagree. These are better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GPb-u8GUA0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us3rW326Tbo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlB_eCPpi6Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWtHzfVQn4o I know an two guys that imported two of these type of vehicles then registered them as mopeds. One time $22 fee. Cheap insurance. Parks very easy. Two of these fit in the space of an NEV Lawrence Rhodes _______________________________________________ Address messages to [email protected] No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org
