With Arcimoto (who we’ve covered on episode 46) hitting a $1b market cap, and the recent article from RestofWorld covering the rise of low end Chinese micro-EV’s, we wanted to circle back to the question of what will heavy micromobility - those vehicles in the 50-500kg category - look like and why could they be where we find the defining vehicles of our time. Specifically we cover: - A quick summary of Horace’s research into carbon emission modelling for micromobility (more to come on this soon!)- How Horace and Oliver both got into micromobility- The rise of the Chinese low-end and what’s interesting about them- How small cars like the Gordon Murray T25 or the golf cars sit in ‘no-mans-land’- Why the criteria for disruption in vehicle type might sometimes require getting creative with the rules and being ‘unsafe’- The rise of Arcimoto and their creative interpretation of the rules- Why these vehicles will answer the ‘trillion dollar question’ when they emerge, and why they’re inevitable.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/at7G3gxGDWglvTJ3FfhPtfaxPELHBPmCFC9m1Fl166c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xZjFh/Y2JhNjg4Mzg5MzJi/ZGJlMGFmNjA4ZjU4/NzMzOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
