All of Asia where it rains for much more than 3 weeks straight during the monsoon seasons.
That said it’s not clear if it will catch up in any place where these are seen as perks of convenience rather than essential transportation.
- ghaff 8y agoWhat you see in Asian cities are really light motorcycles though, right? As in, they can keep up with auto traffic. In places like KL the "scooters" (or whatever the right term is) are really something. Can't imagine driving there.
- freeone3000 8y agoCity auto traffic in the US is weirdly fast - it's 30 mph instead of 30 kmph. These devices have no trouble at 18mph but America decided it has to be faster because it built things so far away.
- dogma1138 8y agoMost cities in Europe have a speed limit of 50-60km/h only a handful of roads are limited to 30 and 25 km/h and those are often mixed roads or a parking lot :)
- hocuspocus 8y agoI don't know about the particular mopeds in the article, but for instance the Gogoro's that are used by Coup in Europe can go up to 90-95 km/h and fall into the 125cc category unless they are artificially restricted to 45 km/h (to allow for more people to be able to use their service).
