Ebikes are great, but here in the suburban US I only see teenagers on electric scooters (standing/kick scooters), presumably because they're slightly cheaper, or non-electric bikes. The ebikes I do see are used exclusively by adults. There might be some coolness gradient at play in addition to the cost, not sure.
- harambae 1y agoThe teenagers in San Jose ride Surron-style ebikes all over the place and it's pretty suburban where I am. (Might have to do with the weather and/or affluence? In a lot of places you can't bike year-round and an ebike is a bigger investment for only 6 months.)
