    As a parent, I don’t know if I agree. It takes significant effort to get my kid out on a bike as our road system isn’t great for them. (My city is actually fairly good, but we still can’t, for example, get to his school without needing to ride on the road)

    If it could do 45mph and had a 40 mile range then it’d work for nearly all our in-town trips. We have a phev that can only do about 20 miles on battery and at the start of the pandemic we went 9 months without needing to put gas in it. I wouldn’t want it as our only vehicle but it’d be pretty viable as our secondary one.

      The top speed is 28. So that’s what I’m saying, this vehicle occupies largely where riding a bike is fairly safe.
