micromobility - Ebikes, scooters, longboards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility

Better for the environment, better use of urban spaces, cheaper to maintain the infrastructure, lowered healthcare costs, far fewer people being killed going to work, less dependency on oil, more affordable for families...

Wouldn't it just be cheaper overall for the governments of the world to gift every household an e-bike? Surely, it would be more sustainable than having more and more and more large vehicles with one occupant doing less than <10km of driving all day long, no?

Hell, even a regular moped...I had a gas powered genuine buddy 50 in college. That thing had a ~1.5 gallon tank, which I only had to fill up once a week. I got 80-100 mpg depending on how much I had to do. It was insane.

I hate electric bikes as they pass me on a hill as I sweat my butt off going up it, but I love this headline. More people on electric and more people on bikes please.

This is an interesting observation: emotorcycles, escooters, etc. can lead the way to low carbon transport.

My issue is that for months every year it is colder than I like for two wheeled transportation. I have a motorcycle but don't want to use it below 50 F and will not use it on snow/ice. I've seen some better ways to handle this (enclosures, etc.) but they're not common. I hope good cold weather solutions for 2 wheel transport DO become more common along with being more electrified.
