If you change the numbers from 160lbs to 300lbs and 9,400lbs to 2,000lbs does it really seem any less absurd if you're looking at it strictly from a numbers point of view?
- LeifCarrotson 4y agoYes? It's a factor of 6.6 instead of a factor of almost 60. I can understand engineering constraints that say a vehicle with an energy source and controls and comfort and so on requires some multiplier that might not be less than 1, but 58x is a lot.
- frumper 4y agoA 2000 pound theoretical car is 60x more weight than a bike that can also carry you. Looking strictly at numbers, a car doesn't make sense to transport a person in most cases. I'm not advocating for less cars, just that looking at it as a weight to payload issue doesn't make sense to begin with.
