It’s marginal gains all the way here but genuinely if you’re an omnivore the E-Bike might work out more enviromentally conscious

    I was gonna say this. I imagine there’s a lot of people for whom their lives wouldn’t really be serviced by a regular bike, unless they were a super avid cyclist and okay with being tired and sweaty all the time, and would still end up using a car a lot even if they genuinely tried to bike as often as they could. But an e-bike fills up a lot of those gaps.

      It’s me, I’m the lazy bastard. (Not really, but I’m a absurdly sweaty bastard if it’s above 20C and I have to exert myself above a light stroll, so E-Bike has saved me many times from relenting to a car ride to the city center)
