Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

The communities listed above are decentralized. Centralized instances are omitted as they go against the fedi purpose and it’s better to cultivate digital rights in the free world. That means instances that have a disproportionately large population or are centralized on Cloudflare are not listed.

Though I'm not a fan of car focused infrastructure, I have to admit I'm fairly impressed with this little thing. If the range ends up being accurate and they become obtainable for the stated price, this seems like a decent stop-gap for American travel.

If they give it wider tires, that would increase rolling resistance and use more energy, lowering range.
