  1. 1.The solution for transporation problems is PMD (Personal Mobility Devices), what is more convenient, cheap and eco-friendly.
    2.I think it can't be used in our city, because our roads aren't for the such transport. Our people are used to drive by car, they stay in traffic jams and don't think that there are more convenient things as PMD in the world.

  3. 1) Terry proposed PMD (Personal Mobility Device), because it's very simple and economical device.
    2) I think this device would not be very popular in our city because his power is very little to drive on our hills.

  4. 1. It is Personal Mobility Device (PMD).
    2. I have already heard about these devices, and even saw them in the Le Futur shop. But I consider, movement on them will be inconvenient in our country, especially in Vladivostok. I think that they are not intend for hills and holes.

  5. The solution for transpotration problems proposed by Terry Dodds is PMD(Personal Mobility Device). The PMD is a transportation revolution, that is already solving much of the world challenging transortation problems. Today the PMD is safer, smaller, lighter and much smarter in their design(can be fold up and carried in a public transport). The PMD has an electric motor, so you won't arrive sweaty. And the fact that it's economic very important too.
    But I don't think that this kind of transport can be used in Vladivostok because of poor roads. Nobody can be satisfied of constant joggling. And there's no beautiful parks to go riding.
