If I’m still alive and riding in 25 years... And if my couple learns to ride... And if I find a couple... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has recently learned to ride. For laughs the other day I asked her to try to push a grocery cart while riding on her wheel. It was very difficult and she struggled to move it around and steer it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will stop making that suggestion then. Sounded like such a great idea. Perhaps all four wheels need to turn for it to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started pushing it around on my MSX and it was tough! I really had to make an effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind about the 4 wheels that turn. Our carts only have two turning wheels. I guess two beefy guys on either side of a new rider is the best way after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lirva Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I practised riding by pushing a stroller around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a stroller I've used to transfer groceries to the kitchen after surgery, but I didn't think it would help a never ever rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't lean on it, but keeps you up just enough to practise riding or put kid in it for extra laughts and weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) I drove around with my grandma in a wheelchair, was easy. Could even lower down on the side to chat at the same time. Edited July 9, 2019 by Mimolette 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have reached this conclusion by the gender ratio in this forum (although admittedly not everyone's gender is known here) and in EUC YouTube videos. Based on what I've seen on YouTube, about 95% of EUC riders are male! It's not just EUC; perhaps women in general are Luddites compared to men, CERN female scientists somewhat exempted. https://electrek.co/2019/07/08/tesla-women-electric/amp/ Data shows that Tesla is having a more difficult time convincing women to buy its vehicles than competitors in the premium segment. Is it a Tesla problem or an electric car problem and how could they change that? According to data from Edmunds via USA Today, 69% of Tesla vehicles in the first quarter of 2019 were registered by men versus only 31% by women. While men do buy more premium vehicles than women on average, Tesla’s mix is worse than all other brands in the segment: Lexus: 51% men, 49% women Acura: 54% men, 46% women Lincoln: 56% men, 44% women Mercedes-Benz: 57% men, 43% women Cadillac: 58% men, 42% women BMW: 60% men, 40% women However, when breaking down the brands and looking at specific electric cars, the mix of men and women buyers are much more similar to Tesla’s: Chevrolet Bolt EV: 69% men, 31% women Nissan Leaf: 66% men, 34% women This might indicate that the difficulty appealing to women is broader than just with Tesla, and could apply to the greater electric vehicle market in the U.S. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
