The Most Useful Vehicle per Square Inch: Why Footprint Matters More Than Speed
Urban mobility has focused on speed for decades.
But in real cities, speed is rarely the problem.
Space is.
The Forgotten Metric: Footprint
In dense cities, the most valuable resource isn’t horsepower—it’s square footage.
Vehicles compete not just on roads, but in:
- Hallways
- Storefronts
- Basements
- Sidewalks
- Micro-warehouses
The smaller the footprint, the more useful the vehicle becomes.
Why Bigger Isn’t Better
Large vehicles bring hidden costs:
- Parking fees
- Garage rent
- Storage headaches
- Limited access to tight spaces
Even traditional cargo bikes struggle with storage and weather protection.
Measuring Real Utility
A truly useful vehicle maximizes:
- Cargo capacity
- Stability
- Weather protection
- Daily usability
…while minimizing:
- Storage space
- Operating cost
- Complexity
This is where utility per square inch becomes the metric that matters.
