From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.
I’m generally a fan. I see a lot more people biking around my suburban sprawling American city, and I’ve noticed the majority now are ebikes. Probably half of those are cargo bikes, so they really seem to be enabling more trips outside a car, and that’s pretty great.
Out of curiosity, what form of cargo bike are you seeing? Regular-ish bike with racks, or something more exotic like an Urban Arrow?
Mostly long-tail bikes, with racks. The main goal seems to be to be able to carry some kids along with maybe some groceries.
Ebikes are electric motorcycles.
Incorrect. E-bikes are actually economically viable. Show me an electric motorcycle that actually makes sense to buy.
In the same way that you’re a bonobo.
