Ebikes work in big cities, but work REALLY well in small communities! Easy to plan a route to avoid main roads. Miles and miles of roads with empty sidewalks (nobody walks here), paved sidewalk boulevards, the occasional bike lane, and trails. Best of all nobody constantly complaining about ebikes.
