Tiny Vehicles May Be Next Wave Of Urban Transportation
More and more people are turning to what some call “Tiny Vehicles” for their commute to work or short errands.
These electric-powered unicycles, scooters, skateboards, and folding bikes are the perfect alternative to getting in a car, hunting for parking, and adding greenhouse gasses to the environment.
Many combine them with mass-transit, making the trip from the train to the office shorter than a bus ride and less sweaty than a bike ride.
