I was struck on a visit to Tel Aviv how absolutely every economic class had a form of powered transportation.

The low rung was the scooter/bicycle and the expense and convenience went up from there.

The streets are absolutely clogged with every level of transportation and everyone was busy and going fast.

Quite a contrast to rural New England but obviously the future. I see a college professor riding a one wheel about 2 miles from campus going up an incline that stretches for 2 miles. The road turns to dirt as it crosses state lines to Vermont. I dislike the ride on my bicycle. I stopped him once and I think he said he had 40 mile range!?
