How about you present some evidence to the contrary? I get that you’re probably just trolling, but what you’re doing here is akin to asking for proof that the sky is blue or that most humans have two hands.

That’s an unusually small one too. On scooters you tend to see much bigger rigid boxes, like this https://i.pinimg.com/736x/13/e1/1a/13e11aab642c5589b92ae570f...

So, what you’re saying is that two wheeled vehicles are equally unnecessary in both contexts?

Indeed, nobody is carrying their family on a scooter in London, but at the same time pretty much nobody is delivering food with a car either.

US and Canada are probably the only places where scooters aren't the norm. I guess in Kyiv and Bucharest you see a decent amount of deliveries with cars, but those people are mostly driving super cheap LPG vehicles. Even in Dubai sco

Go on, explain how and where I changed my claim. While you’re at it, maybe also explain how this has anything to do with the subject at hand?

You can easily carry food for 10 people on a scooter unless the packaging is crazy. This, again, is the norm in Europe. Why should the average delivery guy be driving a car to be able to accept big orders that probably make up less than 1%

Because it’s the norm in Europe, in Asia and Africa. Probably Latin America too.

No it’s not. It’s exactly the same claim. “fuck all” means nothing or very little, in this context it’s obviously “very little”. In any case, we’re discussing the sustainability of delivery services. Most of the world lives in cities, it re

>You would die of heat stroke pretty quickly delivering food on a scooter in the middle of summer out here. Scooter deliveries are the norm even in the warmest areas of Europe. Same goes for places like Tehran, in fact almost all of Asia

No? That’s definitely not the norm in places like Finland. Sure, in the winter the proportion of couriers driving cars increases. You also see tons of people on fatbikes and similar.

Yes, because they don’t have weather or families in London.

Wow, breaking news! Americans refuse to drive two wheeled vehicles for no particular reason! Truly, a shocking new development.

Yeah, it’s true. The amount of restaurants and amount of deliveries they make to suburbs is negligible when compared with urban areas.

There’s also fuck all food deliveries happening outside urban areas.

Shockingly, most food delivery people don’t use cars… This is the weirdest straw man. Scooters are cheaper to operate and faster if there’s any traffic.

No, you’re ignoring all the maintenance your landlord would usually be responsible for. Things like internal plumbing, internal wiring, air conditioning and appliances.
