@threetails @douglasvb @GreenFire @fuchsiii @notjustbikes That's just a #KeiCar-esque electric #Minitruck and they are great.

So much that #PICNIC uses them exclusively for their #GroceriesDelivery service and #DeutschePost / #DHL literally bought a manufacturer for their electric minitrucks and calls them #StreetScooter.

And #UPS converted a lot of their trucks to a drop-in electric kit in order to serve Regulated areas.

Good for delivering parcels and bulk goods in the narrow alleys of italian cities and villages, but also quite spartan since inception.
There are OFC other #CabinScooters mostly from #China and #Japan's #KeiCar class certainly pushed it's domestic car makers into designing anything from a sports car to a box truck and minivan within the limitations of space, engine displacement and output.

@dragonarchitect precisely!
There is no incentive to build smaller vehicles in the word except the #KeiCar classification in #Japan and few nieches like Drving license Class B1 and A1 and subsequent "legal and/or engineering hacks" that serve nieches like "turning a car into legally a motorized tricycle that a 16yr old can legally drive on their own." by neutering it's engine to 15kW & 90km/h Vmax and modding the rear axle...

Wenn schon kein flächendeckender #ÖPNV & #ÖPFV möglich ist, dann doch bitte effiziente Designs statt #Padpanzer aka. #MotorisierteGewalt per Design!

@TheWarOnCars what we need is to either ditch the concept of a #car entirely in favour of a #PersonalLightVehicle (#PLV) or decentivize their ownership, production and purchase with taxes on excess size, width, lenght & dead-/net weight.
Kinda inverse of the japanese #KeiCar standard.

@bhtooefr @TechConnectify @notjustbikes that's because #Japan has the #KeiCar standard, which incentivizes small vehicles.

Something I do acknowledge...

I saw this in the parking lot at the gym. I would be lying if I said that I have never been tempted to get one, myself.
