The mortality rate for amazing ideas is higher in developing countries, for more reasons than incompetent or corrupt governments. For example, there are fewer networking opportunities by virtue of the network being small, or the poverty rate would put a product like this well into the disposable income/toy space.
I would bet this thing would be a mad success if the inventor had won the birthplace lottery.
- PaulDavisThe1st 2y agoExcept that bicycles as everyday transport are much more common in the inventor's birthplace than in places typically thought of as "winning the birthplace lottery".
- zamalek 2y agoElectric bicycles, however, are not.
- __rito__ 2y agoCars are rare in India. Motorcycles and cycles- you find them literally everywhere.
- makingstuffs 2y agoCars in India most certainly are not rare by any stretch of the imagination.
- gautamsomani 2y agoWell, not in cities, but in rural areas they are a bit rare? :) Also, this is more eco-friendly for small near by errands to be run. What say? :)
- makingstuffs 2y agoThis is much better for local journeys, 100%. But I have to disagree that cars are ‘rare’ in any part of India. Source, I am Indian and have travelled a significant portion of the subcontinent.
- __rito__ 2y agoI am also an Indian, and I, too have travelled widely. You are only looking at the roads. Look at homes of people. How many garages and cars do you see? Very, very rare.
- saati 2y agoIndia has 34 cars per 1000 people, that counts as pretty rare. For comparison the EU has 567 and the US over 800.
- __rito__ 2y agoThink per capita. In city roads, sure, they are filled with traffic and roads are congested. But even in cities car ownership is kind of rare. In small towns, cars are very rare. In rural areas, they are almost non-existent.
- zamalek 2y agoHow did cars enter the discussion?
