I just roll mine around it's not really a problem

They don't have baskets at this store. You have to use a push cart. This probably has something to do with the amount of theft that occurs in this area. I'm also probably not equally abled to you so a _bicycle_ is more useful to me and pushing that around a store with a cart getting groceries would be a ridiculous chore.

The world would probably be better if you didn't assume that everyone's experiences are identical to yours. Otherwise I can just keep using my gas powered truck to get groceries. I can easily afford that and it's "not a problem" for me.

An EV bicycle just seemed more considerate in several ways, and unless it has the features that speak to my needs, I don't see myself using one.

I don't know of a solution for the types of half-size carts common in small grocery stores, but I've seen people stash their scooters in the space below the main basket of full size carts

Okay.

Could you also just put some anti-theft features on the device itself?

Is there some reason NOT to do this?

What an absurd conversation this has been.

It seems like that would be difficult given its size. It's hard to secure something you can just pick up and walk away with if you can't lock it to something
