They're fun and make biking more accessible to people who wouldn't bike because they're out of shape, can't bike up steep hills, or don't want to show up at work covered in sweat. Try one sometime, a good ebike with a torque sensor just feels as if you suddenly have bionic legs.
- JohnFen 3y agoI have tried them, and they're fine. I just don't understand them. If people don't want the exercise, then why isn't an electric scooter the preferable option for them?
- alexrson 3y agoI prefer an e-bike over an escooter because I have a lot of prior experience biking in traffic that it feels more natural to be biking. I also find I can't really take one hand off of the handle bars on my scooter (to signal for example) whereas I can easily do that on a bike. There's a whole laundry list of small things I like better about ebikes than escooters.
