In my city people bike because they want to get from A to B.
E-bikes are great for that! They enable reasonable fast biking without breaking into sweat (good for commuting) and in hilly areas.
First they enabled senior citizens to bike fast and longer. Then came the mountain e-bikes and made it cool. Than the city hipsters. Then family mum and dad zipping their children around:

> If not, get a proper motorbike.
Motorbikes are loud and heavy and more expensive. You need a helmet and have to use the road instead of bike lanes. You need a driving license.
