hello, Tokyo and your electric vehicles

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Hello, Tokyo, it's been too long - 5 1/2 years! We're only passing through, but I had to comment on your electric vehicles.

First, the new taxis are a wonder. Spacious, quirkily reminiscent of London's design, and powered by LPG with an electric assist. Nice!

Then there are the electric-assist bikes: they're everywhere, and they've sprouted windscreens for the kiddies. It's clear that these are replacements for vehicles.

Tokyo, you're leading the way. Thank you.
