My "savior of British life": Electric tricycles are the treasures hidden by your side

My "savior of British life": Electric tricycles are the treasures hidden by your side

There are always a few things that can instantly make you understand "helpless humor": for example, the weather forecast will always jump between "sunny to heavy rain" and "sunny rain to sunny", for example, when checking out in supermarkets, the machine is always suspected of not scanning the code when checking out by the self-service supermarket, and for example - want to buy things well, but is forced to doubt life by transportation and transportation. At this moment, if there is an electric tricycle, it can save you from the fire and water.

After seeing the little blue helper from the family, I also bought one. Now this silver-gray little guy has long become the "best family member" of my family. The Farmers Market every Saturday is its home court. Before I went there, I always put a plaid in the cart, first stuffed two boxes of raspberries with morning dew, and then inserted the baker's freshly baked whole wheat baguette into the side pocket - you should know that in the past, I used to carry baguettes in plastic bags, and when I got home, it would definitely turn into "whole wheat trolls". The stall owners all recognized it, and sometimes they would smile and throw extra tomatoes into the car bucket: "Anyway, your car is like a mobile picnic basket, and you will take it back as a snack for the children."

The British people understand everything they know about stocking up in supermarkets, but who has never experienced the embarrassment of "buying too much can't put the trunk"? Last week I went to Tesco to shop, and I moved a week's milk and frozen pizza, and carried two big bags of cat litter and my daughter's picture book. I used to drive the mini hatchback and piled things carefully like building blocks. I was always afraid of milk spilling out when I braked. Now the electric tricycle's truck's car is the "universal storage room". The cat litter is placed on the bottom floor, the food bag is separated, and the picture book is stuffed into the lattice next to the driver's seat. It drives home slowly, and even the eggs are not broken, perfectly avoiding the "shopping sequelae".

The most amazing thing is its flexibility in the old alley. The streets in our area are ridiculously narrow. When the car drove in, it was like jumping into the flower bed. When it came to the opposite car, it had to go back to the intersection and be "polite and humble" to each other for a long time. But electric tricycles are simply the "king of alleys", and drilling into those "car restricted areas" is more effective than rabbits. Last time my friend came to visit the alley and got lost. I drove it for three minutes. She laughed at the coffee and cookies in the car bucket and said, "You are not a scooter, it is obviously a 'mobile little tea breaker'."

And it is so worry-free that it is touching. It takes more than 40 kilometers to charge the electricity once, and it costs only one or two pounds to charge it once a week. The fuel bill is only one or two pounds - enough money to save money on driving, and enough to buy two boxes of fried fish and chips. The weather in the UK changes as soon as possible. It was sunny the previous second, and it was raining heavily the next second. I added a transparent awning to the cart so I could still go to the supermarket. No longer have to ride a bicycle and get soaked in a chicken, and you have to hold the wet shopping bags with one hand.

I used to feel that I lacked a "easy transportation tool", but now I understand that good tools must be hidden in daily details like British humor. Go to the market to pack fresh ingredients, go to the supermarket to carry heavy items, put a small chair in the car bucket when picking up the children, and carry a picnic mat to the park on weekends - it doesn't have to find a parking space or spend energy, and it even keeps quiet when charging.

Now every time I pass by my neighbor's house, Old Tom will wave his hand: "I said it is more reliable than a car, right?" I nodded with a smile. After all, in the UK, the only thing that can solve the three major problems of weather, transportation and shopping is this electric tricycle. It is no longer a tool for transportation, but a "little blessing in British life" to live a comfortable life in ordinary days.
