This town banned cars (except tiny electric ones)

Thanks to Iris and Bruno for doing an interview in their second (or, more likely, third or fourth) language! I couldn't manage that...

good to know tom in particular is expressly forbidden from owning a zermatt car

I’ve always thought a high-speed chase scene filmed in Zermatt with those electric cars would be hilarious.

They must have researched Tom's poor driving skills and long history of accident's before he arrived. Good on you, Tom, for accepting your personal ban so graciously.

One time I was riding my bicycle next to the main road through town and I turned into a side alley. At that moment there was a big break in traffic on the main road and it got super quiet, so quiet in fact that I heard birds chirping and dogs barking in the distance. That moment sticks out to me. To think how quiet a city can be.

Tom has managed to learn alot about himself with his YT channels, examples include; not having the G tolerance to become a pilot, loving the thrill of rollercoasters, not being allowed to buy a Stimbo car in Zermatt

The great thing about this channel is you have absolutely no idea what will come next.

"It's handmade quality". You can hear how proud he is. Could have listened to that interview for hours.

You should see the car-free islands of Sweden. The west coast features islands that are either 1) no cars only golf-carts 2) not even golf-carts but wheel barrow is permissable and proper parking exists or 3) not even bicycles are allowed during the summer season. EDIT: And to add to this most of them are of higher population than Zermatt

I like how proud the manufacturer of the little cars is. Very wholesome

I love the pride the Factory owner has when talking about his company.

The only (assumedly) petrol car I've ever seen in Zermatt was an emergency rescue offroader with tracks for wheels. Not just the cars are special there, but the buildings as well. They all have that signature chalet look because it's mandatory.

I went skiing in Zermatt and I had no idea this was a thing until I got there. When I ended up skiing down the wrong side of the mountain, I was able to catch an electric bus back to near my hotel on my lift pass. It was incredible and I don’t think I breathed in an emission for the whole time. It’s so easy to get to by train as well. 100% would go back, although it’s expensive.

I was about to ask how the hell they pay 10 people with only making 10-15 vehicles per year, and then I saw how much they cost. Wild

That guy from Stimbo sounded like the most soft-spoken, gentle soul ever. So sweet.

I love Zermatt. Went there for my honeymoon last year and absolutely enjoyed it.

It's very cool to see a "car" company that is totally independent with handmade cars, especially nowadays. Just by looking at one you would guess they are mass-produced somewhere but no.

Noise pollution and its impacts are an underdiscussed topic, I'm glad Tom is bringing attention to it

Kudos to Tom for acknowledging that this is a luxury

Here in Copenhagen (and possibly in other cities in Denmark), small vehicles just like this are used by the people who do all the maintenance of our parks and other walking and biking areas. They slip in, sweep the paths and collect garbage, paint, clean, and whatever else needs doing, and then quietly roll along. This really resembles what many big cities have started to do, where vehicles are banned in the innermost city because they're so crowded that you have no choice but choose between cars or people, and if you allow cars in, you inevitably end up with several kilometer long queues, and then there's not enough space for people. As long as you have proper public transport systems, there is no need for everyone to have their own vehicle, and when these systems are in place, many people never learn to drive or don't own a vehicle, because they have no need for it. And when you rarely do need a vehicle, there's always rental and share-car systems
