"How big" leads naturally to the question of how kintas get around. In terms of raw locomotive speed, they're probably not as fast as you'd first think. You won't see any of them sprinting around at 120 mph, though you should still probably get out of their way. Overall, kintas are wholly mediocre athletes and almost anything they do physically is only impressive at an absolute and not relative level.
In terms of mechanized transport, they do drive cars and other vehicles but it turns out that it's really hard to make something that big go very fast, so their utility is derived more from capacity and distance rather than speed. In the commercial space, it's increasingly common for kinta-sized transportation to be handled by human-sized drivers to save on operating costs. Unfortunately, the slow top speeds and specialized applications mean that they tend to skimp on crash safety.
Transcript:
In general, smaller species tend to be more agile. So although kintas average ten times taller than humans, we aren't usually moving ten times as fast. We do walk the fastest of any animal, but it's not like we'll be breaking any speed limits doing so. If your car is competent overtaking on the freeway, then you can outrun most kintas.
Despite our below-average endurance and poor jumping capability, kintas can make decent athletes. We are surprisingly good at swimming and enjoy playing sports, though we prefer ones which take up less space!
Yes, kintas can and do use motor vehicles. However, these machines can't go much faster than just running, so they're usually reserved for long-distance or high-capacity transport. Individual ownership is rare; kinta passengers prefer public transit (if available) and ships.
