I have been using a used RadPower [1] bike for the last 1.5 years in Seattle. I now drive the car less than < 50 miles per month. I use the ebike and some bus, but mostly bike. Depending on the urgency and my want for exercise, I can adjust the level of effort, something that cannot be done in the car. The bike is faster and actually enjoyable. The batteries should be standardized so that refurbishment and recycling can be done en masse.
