A 15-year-old lawn care business owner needs a reliable, safe, and legal way to transport his equipment to customer sites without a car or parent-dependent rides.

Minibikes are safety concerns for mom and may be illegal on streets; bicycles are too physically demanding for hauling 80-100 lbs in heat; e-bikes have a bad reputation locally and charging is inconvenient.
