@perishthethought not finding the time to do it
@ertai @frightful_hobgoblin Registered as a car may mean adding airbags, passing crash safety tests, etc. It all depends on where you are.
If you need to pass all those car tests you can't be a velomobile any more, you have to be a car. Someone was making a modern electric Moke, which sounds like a fantastic vehicle, except it wasn't legal in many places because it couldn't pass modern safety regulations.
(Heck postie bikes aren't legal in Australia any more because they wont add dual ABS)
@Showroom7561 @jewbacca117 It's a tangent, but the number of Hiluxs that can be parked around a mining haul truck and be invisible to the truck driver is another visibility video that is enlightening to watch.
@plactagonic ~2x the minimum.
But as with most fitness gear, second hand can be a real bargain. Still spend more than the minimum, but get the 4x bike for 1.5x.
@NotMyOldRedditName @Hypx I'm not against it, but I didn't think most of the copper in a modern car / EV was in the LV supply wiring, so such a change would be more in the range of a 10% reduction?
@njordomir But all of it is network effect in action: the incremental value of each piece is related to how many pieces already exist.
@Wrufieotnak @hobovision stock images would have worked fine. Or google earth.
