Maybe we should repurpose some older 'provinciale' roads (which often run parallel to some of the major highways) for these new types of compact electric hybrid vehicle-bikes (transportation without an 'inside' or car-like cabin, that leaves the driver exposed), since expecting them to go on car-roads is inconsiderate.
That way these new greener alternatives can take off, and their drivers are safe. We should never expect people with e-trailers (and similar) to compete for space with 35 ton lorries/semi trucks. I think this an infrastructural transition/move worth carefully tending to and designing for.
