Hey thanks for more context I appreciate it.

-20F (-30C) is quite cold. How often is it that cold during commuting hours? It's hard to read too much into anecdotes re house latches freezing because there are so many peculiarities of individual houses. Range will definitely be reduced though.

I could see the ice melt slurry being messy and gumming up the bike's mechanics for sure. Not something I have experience with.

Yeah separate infrastructure makes biking a lot safer and so more attractive.

It's actually not as bad on average as I conveyed

I think a lot of it is wind chills, especially where I am since Madison, WI sits between two lakes.

It might be better on a regular fat tire bike and not EV here, though in the last few years EV has become insanely popular around here.
