E-scooters? I feel theft, portability, and price are the big reasons why E-scooters are taking off like crazy while E-bikes are not. You can just fold up and bring a $500 E-scooter into your apartment and office, and also charge it while you work. Not to mention onto public transportation. Unless you're very lucky to have an accommodating place of work and home, you probably can't do that with a E-bike. Yes I know folding bikes exist (I personally have a Brompton), including folding E-bikes, but they're still not as convenient as a scooter. As much as I love my Brompton, I'm tempted to replace it with an E-scooter. Edit: all of the above applies in comparison to normal non-electric bikes too.
