The β€œE-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via @Treehugger

@BrentToderian Ebikes are fantastic, but they are too expensive. A good quality ebike can cost as much as a used car! Governments should consider subsidising ebikes in preference to electric cars.
