if we design our sidewalks and bike paths correctly we could have a fleet of these electrified - would help massively during winter
To all the people in eastern North America in the path of this snowstorm:
You can and should expect your city to plow sidewalks (and bike lanes) like they do for roads.
The technology exists, many cities do it (including Montreal & Ottawa). Choosing not to is a middle finger to pedestrians.
