Electric bike with trailer / basket = Under $750, no insurance, no additional costs. Can put it on the front of a bus rack and ride on bike trails apart from traffic. This thing: For people who have money for an off lease Nissan Leaf but like getting wet. Lol

@bssran Why is that bro, are you upset from it?

But we already have those for waaay cheaper. In fact, you can put a $300 electric motor and battery from ebay onto a bicycle and get a 60+ km range and avoid paying monthly insurance.

China is the leader in electric car sales and manufacturing, lol

If the oil prices drop, regions that cost a lot to produce from like the Bakken in the US, oil sands in Alberta and Venezuala, etc will be the regions that will become unprofitable. Saudi Arabia will always be able to export their cheap oil for plastics and other uses because it is so much cheaper to pull theirs out of the ground. By the way, they are investing in the biggest solar project along with Softbank, because that area can get solar at 4 cents per kw or lower (2-6 cents cheaper than oil and coal).

Saudi Arabia is in a high insolation belt and aims to sell electricity to the region with their multi billion dollar investment (with Softbank) into solar. They might sell a portion of ARAMCO to fund building a futuristic mega city called NEOM.

It will be autonomous electric vehicles that replace gasoline cars. An AV can drive up to 24 hours per day, so one AV can replace around 10 individually owned cars. People in cities that have Waymo rollouts will just give up their cars because it will be less expensive and less of a hassle. This high utilization rate means many more miles will be driven on the average electric vehicle, replacing much more gasoline use.

You don't really need AC when you're driving around fast in an open air vehicle in most places. If you have an e-bike you can plug in a USB heated vest or gloves. You could plug a heated massage seat into this vehicle.

How does he figure it would reduce suicides? If someone wants to commit suicide, they don't really care about the method. If there is no gun around, they'll swallow a bottle of pills.

@JustWasted3HoursHere It is really easy to extend range on an e-bike with an additional battery, and the speeds are great with only moderately priced motors.

@darinladd5312 Nobody wants to take the archimoto or an ebike to the side of a dangerous highway. They're really for in town commuting. The benefit of the ebike is that you can use them on separated bike trails and foot paths, which are safer. There are bike trailers for hauling groceries, kayaks, even kids.

@darinladd5312 So your negative "example" is a hypothetical one? Have you driven one of these?
