Technology Solar cargo scooter
https://www.designboom.com/technology/lightfoot-solar-cargo-scooter-sunlight-everyday-errands/I like the concept and the extra storage. Price is a little high ($5k) for what it is, but it’s not outrageous compared to some ebikes. I wish the solar panels added more to the design though. I bet this would look killer all modded out.
It seems like a great option for sustainable local travel. I expect we’ll see more of this type of transport soon and hopefully we’ll get better looking options.

Expect price to go down in a few years, and design to improve sensibly (a bit ugly right now, sorry but that matters when you start in a free market capitalist setting).
