In a world where sedans have been replaced by SUVs, I don't see how the market would react positively to this. But then again, Lime scooters are paradoxically also a thing. I guess maybe it's a matter of marketing?
- xnx 1mo agoWhat's paradoxical about Lime scooters? That they are small compared to SUVs?

- TeaVMFan 1mo agoThat's an especially important point to this new deal, Launch will give them easier access to additional markets beyond the US.
- richiebful1 1mo agoElectric scooters are a walking enhancer in an urban area. Now you can go 20kph in a city and easily park your vehicle. They're also super cheap to own and operate (or borrow one when needed). That's a totally different animal than a $40k subcompact trike car that requires an actual paid parking spot

- elmomle 1mo agoThere are many cities in the US where renting a scooter to travel a couple miles is as fast as (often faster than) waiting for and riding in a car, and costs perhaps a third as much. But I can't speak for whether this solar car is anything other than hype; those are different matters.
