According to the Pedo Files, "An Encyclopedic Guide to All Things Pedo", a modern term of affection used by middle aged tech billionaires with decades younger girlfriends to describe their creepy elders who also have younger girlfriends but are less tech savvy and prefer to walk (from the Latin pedester, going on foot) or swim rather than drive electric cars or ride in kid-sized submarines. Some etymologists have suggested this may be a double entendre on the Afrikaans slang for an Olympic level 'pedo (or Speedo) wearing swimmer.
Modern usage: nice job Vern using your pedo instincts to find those young cave divers.

(noun) - Traditional South African insult, circa 1930's, originally aimed at people too poor to own a motor vehicle, and so were forced to remain as pedestrians.

More modern usage is by middle-class westerners who are so entrenched in their usage of vehicles with internal combustion engines, that they shun or eschew the development of electric vehicles (see also icing). i.e. they would rather choose to walk, than to drive an electric vehicle, even if it gives the appearance that they could be too poor to own a motor vehicle.
e.g. "I'd rather be a pedo guy than to buy a Nissan Leaf!"
