If this invention could make the Postal Service more efficient, terrific. But if bicycles already exist, and are more efficient than walking, why doesn't the Postal Service use them? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

Machines don't call in sick, don't take breaks, don't need health insurance, and behave exactly the same. That is why 1 guy in a mail truck is more cost effective and efficient that 30 guys doing the same job on scooters. This thing will go the way of the pet rock.

Answer, it does use them to limited extent, but on roads, cars and trucks have a larger capacity. This thing is a substitute for legs, not for cars.
