Why would you use an E-bike? 🤨
To get places? I don't understand the question.
I ask because i think the whole idea of an electric bicycle is dumb.
Why waste money on a electric alternative of a transportation device that was made to both make you do excercise AND to get you places?
If you want to get places faster, or just showoff on two wheels, that's what motorbikes are for.
It's not.
It gets you from point A to B, costs nearly nothing to charge, and is environmentally friendly.
It gets you there faster and without sweating. My eBike goes 50KPH. I arrive at my destination with no sweat.
I'm sorry, but you're being very ignorant. A motorbike is thousands of dollars, requires hundreds of dollars per month in insurance, requires licenses, maintenance, fuel, etc.
Not to mention not everyone can ride a standard bike. Older people, people with chronic illnesses, etc. I personally had a double lung transplant. I'm not pedal biking, nor am I paying $750/month for motorbike insurance in my province.
In your case it is more than justified then.
But that does not imply most will agree with you.
