Surely this can be not only done, but done better. A lot of EV tech since then makes this an easier build than it seems.

The new motocompacto is basically an upright EV version of this.

It was a whole thing

This is Motocompo from the 80s

Smaller is way more fun and interesting than bigger when it comes to vehicles in my opinion

Hmm, 15mph max, for a total of 12 miles.

Do you really want to drive a suitcase more than 15mph?

Eh, if I'm hauling around a 40+ lb object, I want it to provide more travel utility than I could just walk. You can get more range out of a OneWheel, and it can probably handle hills better.
