This vehicle is pretty cool if you might otherwise use scooters or electric bicycles, but IDK if I'd be comfortable riding these kinds of vehicles if I have to share the road with those riduculous oversized pickup trucks that USians like. Especially if some stretches of your commute are on roads with a >50kph speed limit.

I actually live in the EU, and I don't really understand why the law limits these vehicles to 45 kph instead of the super common (including within city limits) speed limit of 50; it would be a lot safer to be able to go the speed that everyone else on the road is supposed to go (though most cars are driving over the limit anyway). It feels like the law is deliberately endangering the drivers of these vehicles.
