Drivers don't t have to look left on right in green, so should naturally look in the direction they're going, and thus see pedestrians and cyclists.
They also have time to spot them while waiting.

I like that cargo bike but damn 6k? That's close to cheap car territory.
The price fixing is only for steam keys which is completely reasonable.
Maybe if we didn't build our cities and communities so hostile to humans, this wouldn't be as much as a problem.
Half of that is probably the 2.5kwhr battery, seems like 1kwhr would be a more reasonable range, 180km seems more than needed for most people.
Bedrooms do have to have windows or a door to the outside to be legally a bedroom.
My bother in law has a Juiced Rip Current S, with the performance upgrade it does 30mph on throttle, it'll probably go faster with pedal assist. I can test it later if you want.
I'll need to check what model it is, but it's probably the highest power one.
Technically not street legal, but nobody is going enforce that. Probably.
To guarantee the range you'd probably need a spare battery.
You can also put a rack on it to carry stuff and the spare battery.
The average car age is 12.5 years, so many of them are likely approaching 20
Yeah and that's why I'm not advocating for 100 year cars.
I'd be pretty happy with 20 years to, but 10 just feels like planned obsolescence.
I also messed around with the math very loosly, and only accounting for crashes that total a car, they could be expected to go 20 years or more on average.
And that's now with all the terrible driving that happens, especially at night. With slight deacrease in accident frequncy that number can increase a lot.
So maybe 30 is a bit much for now, but I'd still like an ev that would claim to last 20 yeara.
So far most ev batteries do much better than cell phones, as long as they have cooling.
But you still have it backwards.
We could very easily design and build a car that lasts 30 years. But we don't, because manufacturers don't want them to last that long.
Evs don't have transmissions, or complicated engines, and the wear on brakes is much less with regenerative braking.
Other things like air conditioning and interior coverings could be easily servicable
Why should the life of an ev by limited by its battery?
Calling light electric seems redundant. Its like saying electric electromangantic radiation.
