    If it was electric you could probably shave off the hood and make it more tramlike

      I’m reminded of a video I watched recently where the youtuber talked about how when hit by an american truck with their big front grill people would get pushed over, or worse under, whereas with more “European” cars they would get scooped up on the hood and it was safer. Something to take into consideration.

      Edit: not just bikes

        Yeah if it’s got a little slope to it the person usually bumps around it

        The motorcycle (and now boat) channel Fortnine did a video where they did some math to estimate exactly how many more people are dying each year because of giant truck grilles, here.

        They have to maintain both because many post offices are in places without adequate charging infrastructure, makes sense.

          They make ones with solar on the roof, it’s a neat little all in one package, just leave the vehicle a bit to charge

              yeah that seemed very interesting, a cheap small trike car that can just run entirely on solar seems very peak

              wonder if china has anything similar
