> Escooter/ebike is rarely a replacement for a car.

That's a strange response to an article that's literally saying the opposite. Evidently the scheme is popular.

Giving free money to people is always popular.

In this case the money is enough to effectively get a free e-bike or e-scooter, so of course people who can will use it. They may still buy a car as well, actually, since nothing prevent them from doing just that.
