It does feel like this is such an untapped market. Think commuters, credit cart tourers, tourism around a spread out city. Something that is safer than a motorcycle and faster than a bike.

It’s only safer than a motorcycle if you have bike friendly infrastructure.

The fact they are kind of slow and you can take them on trains helps compared with motorcycles.

In Germany at least the routes are a lot prettier because they go through forests and villages. It's what got me to cycle more and ride my motorcycle less.

It's not safer than a motorcycle. Motorcycles have lights and signals and can accelerate away from danger. Plus the riders are generally covered head to toe in safety equipment, whereas nobody is ever going to wear leathers on a push bike.

The speed limiting alone makes them safer than motorcycles.
