I have a class 1 ebike: Pedal assist and up to 20mph only. It’s an amazing piece of tech, because it makes grades and hills feel flat. Yet it never feels like a scooter or something motorized that you don’t have full control over. That is, it’s no worse than a regular bike. It has all of the other downsides of bikes, however. To make this work, government needs to build up physical and legal infrastructure for bikes: Roads and paths optimized for bicycles only. No cars. No scooters. No pedestrians. And enforced, meaningful penalties for violators. And yes, parking as well.
