E-bikes outsell EVs and with a CAGR of 10% they will soon have a majority share of the bicycle market. This is not weather-dependent. The e-bike share of the bicycle market in Finland is 15%, and e-bike unit sales in that country are about triple EV unit sales. The population centers of Finland are all north of the continental United States and virtually all of Canada.

Something people often forget about Helsinki, Finland is that the weather is quite nice year round. Anyway I wasn’t even thinking about e-bikes in winter, but rather what it would be like near my residence in monsoon season (which is currently ongoing). Traveling on an e-bike in steamy heat with wind and rain just sounds terrible.
