If you are a family of four of five with kids and want to visit Grandma, the electric scooter with four wheels ain't going to cut it to get everybody there or wherever. So, you end up driving 2 scooters every time you set out. That kinda defeats the reasoning behind it.

Another way of looking at it, however, is how much of the time do drivers of SUV's end up toting around high fuel consuming excess capacity? I drive a compact hatchback because I find it to provide a happy medium - for my needs. Most of the time I drive, however, even the hatchback has excess capacity. How much do we pay for something that will suit almost every need all of the time?
