    They go slower, are less noisy, damage pavement less, the driver can get in and out easier and possibly doesn’t need a licence

      They’ve been around in Europe for ages. They’re much more eco friendly. I don’t notice any dislike from the operators, they still come out get out with a smile. And they don’t have to wear helmets.
