Definitely more viable in big cities, but until we get solid state batteries that don’t get messed up by extreme cold, it’s a moot point anyhow.
Maybe if someone develops a warp drive for bicycles it’ll become viable away from places like Toronto lol

It’s not about speed it’s about protection. People need to be warm and safe while traveling between jobs.
Warm can be done easily enough with the right clothing, but yeah, safety is another matter.

Warm clothes can only go so far, you have to still be able to move. Workers need a heat source to replenish themselves, not just to bundle up. To wear all the necessary clothing to keep myself warm for a 45 minute walk adds 15 minutes on to the walk because of how much it bogs me down.
