Many issues with this approach - for example back home roads are frozen with snow +- 4 months per year. Often heavy rains outside this period. There are no 2 lanes - only one, so your approach would be blocking rest of the traffic heavily (even e-bikes are much slower than most cars FWIW, maybe people are just lazy and don't use the potential, don't know). People simply don't have 2000$ for an electric bike, thats super luxury back there (hard to explain to HN crowd used to buy their latest iphones, almost nobody back home has apple products). And back home is still above global average in terms of income. It might work for western hipster places like SF, but globally this is harder to achieve.
