I think those electric wheelchairs would make good commuting transport?

Question

They have a range of about 30km. They could be charged up during the day at work. If powered by nuclear, solar, or hydro power there would be a great reduction in greenhouse gas as freeway fulls of cars would not be needed on the daily commute. I realise they would need minor adaptions for weather. What do others think?

Answer 1

It actually could work.I see a lot of segways in downtown Albuquerque and in the Shopping Malls as well. Since the Southwest is a dry climate generally,I couldn't see how it wouldn't work,to be able to go 5 times faster than the average pedestrian.

Answer 2

I think you're high.

Answer 3

Sounds like the wave of the future to me.

Answer 4

well in some cities they are not allowed on the street

yet other cities they arent allowed on the sidewalk!
