Counterpoint: Do We Really Need E-Bikes?
Lots of comments on this one. My 2cents. I'm 58. Iv been riding bicycles, motorcycles, my whole life. I found a ebike sitting at my neighbors and rebuilt it. It's a blast, and I was getting lazy about riding until I found this. I now have two, rather high powered. I ride both on paths and off road. It's not comparable to motorcycles, so the " just buy a motorcycle" argument goes out the window. No one's going to be bombing up any hills, they are not powerful enough. The bikes are fast, so on flat ground there could be collisions. It's more of a hybrid between a moped (I guess) and a bicycle. Lots of fun, but so is .....(fill in the blank). And stop hating.
