Almost everyone can use an ebike, to be young and healthy is not necessary.
Almost never do people need to haul stuff that can’t fit in either a cargo bike or a small bike trailer.
Bikes are used in all possible climates and weather, you just need to dress for the occasion.
There are definitely uses for cars. They are a necessary option for people but in a city they really should be one of the last options.
- jeffbee 3y agoE-bikes and indeed bikes in general are mobility devices. About half the U.S. population is unable to drive a car for some reason: age too old or young, disability, licensure, or economic. The majority of disabled people who cannot operate a car can operate a bicycle instead. Bicycling is much more inclusive than driving.
- psd1 3y agoCould you go into the disability point a bit more? I can't believe that the common case of physical disability is that you can cycle but not drive.
- Swenrekcah 3y agoNot parent poster but I can imagine for one thing that electric cycling is an excellent way for frail people to keep their strenght while still having a practical way to go about their business. For people who have had accidents it’s proably also a good physical therapy tool.
