"We have noted before that this is the fastest ride to zero-carbon; almost anyone can ride an e-bike for six miles under almost any conditions. If there were safe places to ride and secure places to park, then millions of car trips could be avoided, and millions of cars taken off the road"

@simon_brooke Would like this just for going to the store (besides exercise) but worry about it getting stolen or the motor stolen off of it.
@PamB @simon_brooke Spend good money on a lock and pop the battery into your shopping trolley. Also make sure the bike is parked prominently outside where there is reasonable footfall and the risk is pretty low.
