The government chose them for three reasons,
1.) They're high tech, (so must be good).
2.) They're expensive, (what would you expect from the organization
that brought you $500, hammers. and $10,000 toilet seats).
3.) The government is spending other peoples money, (we can put a
gun to the heads of the taxpayers anytime we like, and squeeze more,
what can the do?)
Last year they became a very popular item, among the more money than
brains set, in my neck of the woods. You'd see whole herds of 'em out
enjoying nature from the nearest paved surface.

Think electric. Balance exercise for the elderly. Quiet. Does not
pollute (depending on what the rider had for lunch). Why else would
the government choose them for mail delivery and parking meter
enforcement?

in my life ;-)
Fair enough. You could try putting pram wheels and a 2-stroke engine
on a
Zimmer frame.
