I live in a city where public transportation is overcrowded, there’s constant vehicle traffic, and you can’t depend on any commute time for a given day or hour. The average temperature is very high, so walking is a sweaty affair.

The only way I’ve found to make this city more usable is with an ebike and scooter. It’s like the perfect vehicle for these conditions.

However, many people reject the technology and either choose their car or other forms of getting around.

Is it because it’s not well understood, or seems too expensive?

I’m curious what sold you on the technology or what is the reason you’re not making the leap.

    I don’t ride because I’d 100% get killed by someone’s jacked up diesel truck in the first month. At least on a motorocycle I can avoid the situation.
