The Amish are just like the rest of us. There are some more conservative communities that don't use these things, and some that do.
For example, the population of Amish near me all have smart phones and solar panels.
An hour away they don't even use compressed air power for their tools.
Different sects.

It doesn't look at all like a slippery slope that will lead to an automobile lifestyle--at least for the rest of the world, it has the effect of making car sales less likely, not more. The e-bike is a symbol of degrowth, the way forward for future cities. Why shouldn't the Amish help wave that flag?

I wonder if they occasionally build their own towns and if they design them differently because of lack of automobiles.
