I'm not giving up my gas guzzler - BUT, OTOH - I have a 49cc scooter that gets 110 MPG and requires no DL, no insurance, no vehicle registration, does 38 MPH and can be modified to go up to 55 mph for just a couple of hundred bucks. Hills are not a problem. Not practical for most of my vehicle needs but quick trips to the store or just local outings to just get out of the house, I'm all over it (as long as weather permits)
Some of those things are a blast too. I rode an e-bike mountain bike and I was going so fast just ripping around the woods it felt like a dirt bike (maybe like an 80 but still it was sweet because none of the neighbors knew I was out there ripping around, unlike a real dirt bike they would be out there chasing me off)
I agree with you 100%. Living in Arizona, five months out of the year you wouldn’t be able to ride a bike anywhere. Also Arizona is the fifth largest city in the nation, but it’s not like New York where it’s built in a small area and built up into tall buildings. It runs hundreds of miles from one into the other. That is north and south. Some of my appointments, and visiting friends take me 25 miles from my home. There’s no way you could ride a bike in 110° weather, even 2 miles, without passing out. The same idea applies to public transportation. First you have to walk to the bus station, or bus stop, then you have to wait. Because the greater Phoenix area is at least 100 miles from east to west, there are so many bus changes you have to make, and or there are no buses that go out to let’s see an East Mesa area. There are very few metro trains that run in the greater Phoenix area. The best you’re going to get is from ASU to downtown Phoenix. And let’s not forget, you either have to drive to those locations, or walk there. In 100° heat. The new world order idealism is untenable for Arizona Phoenix area. Period.
No it’s not, there is not going to be any endless sprawl if the New World order puts everything into place. All they want is 500 million people. Total, on the entire planet. They would never be any more traffic, but still you’d be living in a pod somewhere and eating bugs. I don’t mind the traffic, because while I’m in it I’m going somewhere I want to go. I have a choice, and I have freedom. I can choose to live in a city that’s more crowded or not, and when I get in my car, I put the gas soon with money I earned, and I drive to where I want to go. The NWO’s plan is to have 500 million people on the planet. That’s it I would gladly get in my car and be in traffic, then be in a pod, eating bugs, and running on a treadmill all day to create power for other people, and then get my nutrition square at the end of the day.

Yeah, the electric ones are ripe for that control stuff. Some come with Google maps on the display unit.
OTOH, the explosion of electric skateboards, one-wheel things, personal scooters (not the renta-sküters) are very libertarian, for the same reasons.

Yeah, that's a big selling point. Zero motorcycles made their first electric motorcycle an off-road just for that reason.
How about a horse? ;)

What you fail to realize is that endless sprawl IS the New World Order
