A New York startup is developing a new electric scooter called the P1 .

The P1 is the first vehicle in its class to come with Apple CarPlay .

The segment has seen an explosion of growth in the last 15 to 20 years .

The average price of a new car in the U.S. is just under $48,000 .

A micromobility device like a bike or scooter having to share the road with cars and trucks is “a recipe for in the best case scenario discomfort and in the worst case scenario a crash that could lead to death," Zipper said.

He suggested the solution is to build out dedicated infrastructure: things like bike lanes that are protected by concrete barriers.

Community boards have clashed with homeowners and businesses in cities across the country over the rollout of dedicated bike infrastructure.
