In the not too distant future, there will have to be restrictions on car driving in order to avoid total gridlock and air toxicity. Enter the concept of the small electric car. In the early days of automobiles, electric cars outnumbered gasoline powered cars. When battery development hit the technological wall that it s still pressed against today, the internal combustion engine became the champion of the highways, the railroads, the oceans and later the skies. General Motors, Honda, Toyota and other manufacturers have brought electric power back into focus, but the fact remains, it s impossible to equal the convenience and range of the fuel car.
Electric cars go a little way, and then they re useless until re-charged.
If you have ever tried using a bicycle as your means of conveyance, you know what the main problem is. What do you do with it when you get to your destination. It requires parking. Making matters worse, you arrive tired and sweaty and with a sore or numb butt. I m all for exercise and fitness, but a man in a suit and tie, or a lady in make-up and hose is better off without that bicycle ride.
