There aren't many inexpensive options for something like in this picture. Sure, walking or biking is cheap, but carrying stuff, that's trickier.

I have a great electric kick scooter (charged by solar), and since the grocery store is only a couple of miles away, I figured shopping without a car would be pretty simple.

I've walked there before, but with the heat lately, I wanted a way to carry larger grocery loads so I'd have to make less trips. I don't really wanna have to use my car. I assumed there would be small cargo trailers made for kick scooters.

Turns out, not really. Most trailers are designed for bicycles or larger motorcycle-style scooters.

I found a few niche options people have built themselves, but they're either more expensive than I wanna spend or require more fabrication skills than I have.

I've decided to try building one myself, but yeah, that's gonna take some time since I'm new at the whole "just build your own shit" brigade.

As you all know, here in the US, living without a car is possible, but it often isn't very convenient. The infrastructure and products just aren't designed with that lifestyle in mind.

(Shout out to my downvote stalker. Right on schedule! Thanks for keeping me in your mind all day. LMAO)

Shout out to my downvote stalker.

It’s a lemmy.today user, so you may want to take it up your admins. They’re also reporting you for being a “DonaldJMusk astroturfing account.”

    Yeah, he's been following me around for almost a year saying that. It's been disproved many times, and I don't even post any content that DJM would even like. How would I be a sockpuppet account since I don't post the same content or even know, see, or care what DJM posts? lol

    So the stalker just follows me around and downvotes whatever I say regardless of content.

    Looks like my stalker was a mod of a former conservative community on here, so he seems upset that I post left-leaning articles? Or he hates me because I'm socialist? Or he doesn't like solar power? No clue. I can't seem to understand his beef. But the dude will downvote and then rush to send me the "popcorn" emoji in DM's. LMAO

    Some Lemmy's just gotta be creepy I guess. lol

    That's because they are.

    The original PapaSkwat got banned for being a dick to DJM and they took the name as a trophy.

    And yet they are all so obsessed. We have a dictator running the US, economy is in shambles, world is dying of heatstroke, but people are spending their time making up shit on Lemmy.

    Ok, I guess. Not something I'd spend my time doing, but oh well...
