Another piece not really discussed: shared e-bikes are a gateway drug for buying your own e-bike. You discover the freedom to move about a city without showing up sweaty and it's wonderful. Additionally, more people on 2-wheels / scooters = more support for cycling infrastructure = more cycling!
This type of research is great, but man the headlines suck and are clickbait-y.
- rowanajmarshall 5y agoThat's me :) I got into riding e-bikes around London when the first lockdown kicked in, got my own (non-electric) bike a few months later. A few days ago (just as I left to see family!) my e-bike conversion kit arrived, and I'm SO excited to set it up and get riding!
