"Amplified calls for street safety could be among the most powerful legacies of e-bike rebate programs — not only in Denver, but in the many US states and cities now considering launching their own. If so, they could finally put to rest questions of whether to upgrade bike infrastructure before or only after many residents are riding, a challenge that has bedeviled US cities."https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-09/denver-s-e-bike-rebate-program-has-a-hidden-power

Nice, eh? I mean the invention in this article. (Hoping pora* gods will produce a thumbnail!)

That "e-quadricycle" is for/from Sweden (the article).

My photo is from near me on my island here (Manhattan). This is what I see, Cooper Minis and the like.
The police has a few tiny vehicles also, as does the postal service, like golf carts with roofs. Probably shouldn't be left on the sidewalk like this, but then while it may be ticketed, it's less likely to be taken quickly than the Swedish version, methinks.

Someone replied with this article/video about "the smallest car in the world", also cute but 14 years ago & much has changed.

We have to stop subsidizing the rich and use that money to help people who use public transportation, bikes and scooters for commute.

A self driving car, equals some 200 electric bicycles and uses far more energy and resources, not to mention traffic jam and parking space for the society.

It only benefits upper middle class and the wealthy not the bottom 50% of the society.
