E-bikes are the revolution in transportation that was originally promised with "Ginger"/Segway.
They are still too expensive, but the price will drop as batteries, motors, and production scales. Once it gets down to 200-300 bucks for a foldable bike with a 25mph top speed and a 50-100 mile range, IMO things will take off.
Pedestrian infrastructure is still a waste in America unfortunately. Americans are simply too sessile. What should probably be optimized is the ebike infrastructure, and pedestrians can be a fairly safe afterthought in that type of infrastructure.
I really hope Boring company takes off, it would be great to move most major "stroads" into tunnels.
