I think it's tragic that ebikes have become the domain of drunks and losers. We have the perfect solution to global warming and urban intensification right there, and no self-respecting person will use it because it's a tool of the underclass.
- tyrust 11y agoI've never heard of this stigma in the US. Where is this coming from? edit: I see in your other comments you mention Ontario, interesting. Seems so strange that a mode of transportation could carry such a stigma.
- sliverstorm 11y agoI think ebikes are just seen as cripplingly uncool, and there is a bit of a feeling that it's the lazy way out.
- happycatbasket 11y agoComing from a cyclists perspective, I always assumed that eBike riders were laypeople who just wanted to pay for the convenience to make the daunting task of pedaling seem like less of a deal. It's truly tragic that bikes as a form of transport has been regulated to the domains of college kids, hipsters, fitness buffs, and enthusiasts. < 15 miles is manageable for most people if they don't give up the first day they're sore.
