I've only bookmarked the above video for later but isn't short range more easily filled by e-bikes? You can bypass traffic in the bike lane and lock up at any random street post. If a cheap e-moto is worse than an deluxe e-bike, why bother? (That said, I'm not a fan of e-bikes roughing up regular bikes in bike lanes. People need to start behaving themselves before we get into "this is why we can't have nice things" territory and e-bikes are banned from bike lanes.)

Motorcycles are different than e-bikes. Maybe e-bikes work in some heavily congested urban environments, but motorcycles are a different use case: - they can go on the freeway - they can park in places e-bikes might not have a place - they don't need to be pedaled (if you can't be sweaty when you get there) - ground clearance - fenders if the ground is wet - take a passenger etc...
