1 year agoThis is all really interesting.
As an early iteration it’s great, but without wanting to sound critical - it really does demonstrate a lot of problems.
To me, this format is too specialised to see much use in Australia for example. I can’t think of many suburbs that would be flat enough for one person to drag around 3 bodies plus the machine even with a bigger motor. I cycle regularly, but it wouldn’t take much of an incline with a headwind to make hauling 3 bodies plus machine a real challenge.
Yeah I’m skeptical as well
If the assertion is;
then a new law yet to be implemented is not evidence to the contrary.
Just like tax laws, it’s extraordinarily difficult to legislate the behavior of very wealthy people because they have more resources with which to develop work arounds than the regulators have to restrict them.
