    If it makes the difference between someone using a bike and not using a bike, it’s still a step forward.

      In a way, yea sure. I have a gut feeling that those battery’s will become the next big issue once gasoline has a way lower market share.

        eBikes allow older folks and disabled folks to get out.

        You guys are truly insufferable. You hate on cars, but then hate on people who rely on eBikes.

        I guess we should stop making electronic wheelchairs, too. Quadriplegics should just sit and die.

          Nah you’re looking for a fight just to feel good, foolish person.

          I never said anything about old folks, ya weirdo. But since you’re so adamant i actually have a disability but i’m not taking no for an answer from life.

          I want to do good by our planet to the best of my ability even if it means i have a little more pain. It’s not like the pain will ever stop existing so i might as well do the right thing.

          Heck an e bike would actually make my commute longer, there is no sense in getting one for myself.

          I never hated on cars either, you just made that shit up like the rest that’s coming out of your mouth. If you want a car, go get it. If you need a car, go get it. If you don’t need one, GO GET IT. I don’t give a fuck.

          I just know like everyone else that battery’s are also fucking bad. Same as gas, same as using up all of earths resources etc etc.

            You’re ignorant if you think everyone’s disability is the same.

            I had a double lung transplant. My lungs were so bad, I couldn’t even walk to the bathroom. An e-bike allowed me to get out and be independent.

            But I guess since your pain was tolerable you think all disabled people can pedal a bike? Ignorant.

        Battery operated devices are all over the place, there are just more components that require a battery, even small sensors here and there may use one. The current trend is pushing for this kind of automation where more devices are practically necessary. Ebikes are a part of the deal. Besides they are the best micromobility vehicles so far.
