Pizza delivery will continue after Peak Oil

Peak Oil can't be that bad. We have already solved the pizza delivery problem.

http://www.texaserider.com/escooters_omb80.php

The Oxygen MB80 Cargo/Utility is truly the LONG RANGE workhorse of the Oxygen fleet and surpasses all competition and expectations. Proven in many corporate (commercial, industrial and manufacturing) applications as well as in the Netherlands by the "Dominos" pizza chain, who now owns an operational fleet of over 100 Oxygen Cargo/Utility e-scooters. The Oxygen Cargo/Utility Long Range is a derivative of the base model Oxygen-E. Key features include lower operating cost vs. gas, longer range (up to 60 miles), "in-building" storage for security and recharge, no credit cards for gas station visits because there is no need for oil or gas, very low maintenance, and a large Cargo box that can be used for numerous commodities. The Oxygen Cargo/Utility is very comfortable and easy to ride, with excellent handling characteristics. The unit can be designed with unique corporate colors, themes and logos* to promote your corporate brand image for extremely high visibility and ultimately, very low-cost advertising. Corporate riders can also be outfitted in logo rider clothing.

Bottom line, the initial cost is low and there are very low maintenance requirements, no gas, no oil, no tune-ups because there are no spark plugs, filters or timing chains! The Oxygen Cargo/Utility can be stored or driven inside a building and plugged into any 110/120 outlet. If used daily, and recharged frequently, the batteries will take over 10,000 short charges or 500 deep cycle charges for many years of use. All Oxygen e-scooters are DOT approved.

Where are they going to get the ingredients from? How will they fire the ovens and get electricity for the pizzeria? :P
We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas.

Q: How much does a single charge cost?

A: A single 5 hours charge averages 15 cents. If your e-scooter just needs a top-off or partial charge, the cost could be as little as a few cents.


This e-scooter can go about 40 miles for 15 cents.

If the average vehicle in the USA gets 20 mpg and a gallon is $2.00, so the average vehicle would need 2 gallons ($4.00) to travel the same distance as an e-scooter.

15 cents per 40 miles
vs
$4.00 per 40 miles

I think I know what I am getting for my commute to and from work.

Pizza from a wood-burning stove actually tastes much better. I love those types of restaurants.

I was once a Domino Pizza Delivery driver.

That e-Scooter offers no protection or cover for the deliver drivers in all weather seasons, especially those who lives and deliver in the northern hemisphere (rain, snow, cold-cold-cold weather, etc.)

If I would be riding on that e-Scooter in Ohio during winter time, I would freeze my a$$ off and the pizzas would get cold faster by the time I arrive at the customers' places.

Those e-Scooters are great for warmer or fairly cool climate.

With no home delivery pizza places in the neighborhood, and no family car, we always got our pizzas for the family (5 hungry people) delivered on my husband's bicycle, about 3 km. They were still hot!
