But electric bicycles solve the issue of climbing slopes and are extremely cheap. For the price of an entry-level car you can buy 6 good e-bikes or 2–3 top-of-the-line models. Making cities more bike-friendly would be a boon to the working class who could then enjoy mobility cheaply.
- Tade0 6y agoI agree that they are a good alternative, but to me they're also a very bad combination of being somewhat expensive and, at the same time, easy to steal. Personally if I were to invest in an e-bike, it would have to be the folding variant which I could take with me.
