Speaking of small vehicles, I’ve noticed more people using electric scooters. Stand up scooters that is, not mobility scooters. Even old people. This is in Denmark where there’s bicycle paths everywhere. These people wouldn’t ride a bike, but the scooter seems to be a decent alternative for the same (city) distances. The legal framework isn’t really in place so they ride them on the bicycle path but also the pavements. Weather is a big issue for those.

However, cabin scooters also seem to be popular. I’ve always associated those with old handicapped people, but it seems that the younger generation don’t care about that. It’s a license thing, they don’t require a drivers license here. I’m not sure if those actually help on congestion, but at least they do take up less space and use electricity instead of fossil fuels.

Anyway. It’s difficult to use alternative vehicles if there’s no space for them on the road. The bicycle path sort of helps (as long as it’s legal).
