No need. Ebikes are already highly commoditized and popular and available from many manufacturers.
There was no need for a time to subsidize the development of evokes not work hard to market them as a luxury good to try to get a foothold in the market, as with Tesla.
Ebikes are just a much more naturally highly valuable product and need less shilling. They sell themselves. I mean the amount of mobility and utility you get for the price is unmatchable by any other vehicle
