I will have to agree to disagree with Auto Worker. Open your mind a bit Auto Worker to the hundreds of people who purchase the scooter style because of a physical disability and do not have the option of pedaling. They are pollution free and great for short commutes. The idea of people NOT driving their car and using an alternative form of transportation like a bike or an e-bike instead is great....The options of alternate transportation to fit specific needs is imperative to certain individuals. You sound like a typical disgruntled Auto Worker, who fears losing their job...Perhaps one day you will need an e-bike because you won't be able to afford a car when they lay you off...then maybe you will see the need for them.
