Flatbed - a new three wheel cargo electric cycle from Ouca. (makers of Kiddiebus)
Flatbed primarily designed for a factory or warehouse, but I definitely also envision first-mile and last-mile delivery and pickup.

One person moving in a multi-ton metal box gets $9,000, and one person moving on an efficient micromobility device gets $225. Electric cars do not solve for congestion, storage, sedentary lifestyle, injury/death due to crashes. The battery in ONE gaint electric SUV could power hundreds of e-bikes.
Gov. Polis is increasing the EV tax credit from $6,000 to $9,000. But lowering the e-bike credit from $450 to $225.

TYSM to the driver who told us to “be safe!” after he drove toward us on the sidewalk level bikeway.
1st Ave S is closed to cars due to construction but this driver decided the sidewalk level bikeway was a good work around.

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.
Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.
Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Until a few years ago, this piece of public space served three motorists.
Now there are three bicycle drums, and the same piece of public space serves four times as many cyclists.
The math is simple!
