To be fair there should be a photo of one after an accident. Mileage is great until they have to pry a mangled carcass out from the wheel well of an Escalade who’s driver was momentarily distracted.

We are awash in 18 wheelers, concrete and dump trucks complete with Mexican drivers as well as a lot of long haulers from Canada. These may be fine for those in a metro city where there are none of these or Metro busses but not in our area. I’ll stick with my gas-guzzling SUZ and at least have some protection. Cute but no thanks anyway.

The same could be said of a bicycle or motorcycle.

I consider it my bicycle, only much easier to go up hills.

Just curious. Is there a tremendous difference in the results when you are run over by a car on one of these things or on a 1500cc Honda? Seems to me a motorcycle is a motorcycle when it comes to a crash. No metal around you.

Yes, I was going to say the same thing, or how about when one gets caught in heavy traffic on the Interstate between two Semi’s. If they manage to survive, they will never risk that again. Under those circumstances, even a Harley would be in jeopardy. These toys would become road-kill along with the driver.
