Yes, indeedy. During my Japan years I was quite impressed with how
the lowly bicycle could be used. Of course, Yokohama and Tokyo do not
have the hills and hollers and steep inclines and declines between.
But it would take far less motor and battery to propel a bike with a
small trailer than even the smallest electric car.
I have an old Yamaha dirt bike, small engine, gathering dust in the
barn. I may well see about making it operational again. The grandsons
sure hope I do.
