Better for the environment, better use of urban spaces, cheaper to maintain the infrastructure, lowered healthcare costs, far fewer people being killed going to work, less dependency on oil, more affordable for families…
Wouldn’t it just be cheaper overall for the governments of the world to gift every household an e-bike? Surely, it would be more sustainable than having more and more and more large vehicles with one occupant doing less than <10km of driving all day long, no?
The biggest hurdle is the lack of bike infrastructure (manly bike paths and parking)
There’s tons of bike infrastructure everywhere. We’ve just collectively decided that it should exclusively belong to cars.

I hate electric bikes as they pass me on a hill as I sweat my butt off going up it, but I love this headline. More people on electric and more people on bikes please.
If you’re sweating that much, why not just downshift? It’s slower, but it’s also easier!
I go uphill to go downhill. Enduro is my jam. The hills I go up are in the lowest gear already, they’re just steep.
Just get robot legs
Hell, even a regular moped…I had a gas powered genuine buddy 50 in college. That thing had a ~1.5 gallon tank, which I only had to fill up once a week. I got 80-100 mpg depending on how much I had to do. It was insane.
