--- Quote from: silenceisblissfulness on April 25, 2023, 06:39:22 am ---I don't see what's wrong with good old fashioned, HEALTHY cycling? I made this comment to someone last night - they agreed. Why do we need electric scooters? Kids used to BIKE everywhere years ago... --- End quote --- In those days you had a single block time commitment, and generally weren't covering 95 km. I am gradually aging out of bicycles, but in the last decade a 90km ride was a four to five hour commitment that left me hot, sweaty and too tired to do anything else for a few hours. If you are looking for transportation rather than exercise an ebike is a great option that can also add a bit of exercise. |

Personally speaking, in the winter getting warm is a benefit of cycling and is why I wouldn't want an ebike. |
