You don't understand that disabled people can't go up hills.

Comments

Even on ebikes or power chairs?
And disabled people are much less likely to be able to drive a car, so car dependency cannot be the solution for them.

Power chairs are 1. Expensive. 2. Not used by everyone and 3. Absolutely cannot go up an 18% grade.

Cars are 1. Even more expensive 2. Not used by everyone.

Where, in any of my posts, have I said other options shouldn't exist? Y'all are the ones trying to ban the only thing that works for me. Why?

Mobility scooters are cheaper than cars. Anyone could use them. Separated bike lanes makes it safe.

Why would you want to forego the option?

What part of "scooters don't work on hills" do you not get?

They also don't work in inclement weather.

It’s just not true.

I see no weather protection on this.

Why can’t disabled people go up hills? I see people who likely have disabilities going up hills all the time, on mobility aid scooters, in regular wheel chairs, racing wheel chairs, electric wheel chairs, e-trikes, etc. all using the bike lane.

Ehm. What do you think a hill is? What grade? Because five blocks from my house is one with a 20% and small motors absolutely cannot take that hill.
