Electric cars will replace gas…. said every paper since 1920

I’m undecided on whether I could get my bike on the back of that or if it would be simpler to put the car on the back of my bike.

The people who buy SUVs don’t give a shit about ease of parking or efficiency. They just want to feel bigger and better than everyone else on the road. Not going to be replacing anything.

I have been contemplating learning to drive and getting a little EV like the Microlino when it comes to the UK in numbers if local public transport keeps going downhill especially.
Small, cheap on the per miles costs, can squeeze in somewhere and doesnt look too bad. My only thought for it is if the front opening door could be a problem with ignorant drivers around you if the kerb is too high to safely park it kerb facing and leaving your back end out in the road a bit too far, I can easily see someone parking bumper to bumper with you and blocking you from getting in the car and I do not fancy parking it facing into the road ha.
Whats also nice is that there are a ton of new startups and older companies all producing new designs with more efficency in mind for the group too so there are different designs if you are not happy with a front door car like this 1. EG for the bike enjoyers the carver-ev is a bit of a fun looking meme.
I do hope they catch on in cities at least, would prob make so many peoples travel/lives easier if they did.
As an alternative, there are plenty of decent used Nissan Leafs around for 5k these days. They are perfect town/city electric cars – and they are actual cars, that carry 5 people, with airbags and a boot and all that other car stuff.

I love the hedgehog/SUV “pricks on the inside” joke but the thing is.. a wee hedgehog shirt of spikes is exactly what this looks like.

They look ideal for commuting.
I’ve already seen a number of posts elsewhere from people [reminiscing about bubble cars.](https://www.bubblecarmuseum.co.uk/)
I remember them from the 60s.

Nathan Barley would approve.
