    Fair enough. There are lots of things ebikes can do that cars can’t but it kinda sounds like you already had other reasons that made up your mind.

        For one: You can’t ride your car straight from your house/apartment door to your office door, then fold it up under your desk to charge.

          I don’t have an office door. Regardless, walking a short distance to an arbitrary store front door from a parking lot is far less stressful than riding a bike there from my front door in the 100+F Texas heat and hoping I don’t literally die somewhere along the way.

          Listen, I can form an argument either way, but I’m also not the one making such wildly unilateral statements as the OP.

        Cars can’t drive on the multi-use path, which means cars can’t get you through any decently-designed city as fast as a bike can.

        Cars can’t take kids to/from school without waiting for-fucking-ever in line.

          I don’t live in a decently-designed city.

          I don’t have kids. And kids can walk. Or take the bus, ideally.
