> Electric bikes are cheap, efficient, fast enough, safe, good for your health, and good for the environment. Electric bikes are a very positive direction. Society should be doing a lot to push them as a primary choice. I used to commute 20+ miles on a road bike (not electric). I don't have a commute anymore but if I did I'd have an electric bike and it would probably increase my tolerable range at least to 50 miles. For longer distances I don't want an EV car. I've had them, too much hassle with the charging and range limits. I feel the sweet spot is an electric bike for 90+% of local travel and a regular car/truck for when the distances are big and/or need to tow and carry heavy things. Which is rare, so most usage can be the bike. EVs fill a niche that doesn't exist for me.
