I still kind of think of them as Segways. Neat and all but eventually people will go back to what is easier.

What is easier than an ebike?

For a regular bike, I could get "less complicated", "less expensive", and potentially even "more fulfilling". But "easier"? Not really.

A car is expensive. You have to look for parking. Then walk far from your parking to wherever you're really going. You're often stuck in traffic.

I vastly prefer to use my bike.

The question was "what easier than a bike" and that is a car.

And that's my point. It's not. How can looking for parking be easier than locking my bike next to the door of a store?

Yeah, that's why we're changing cities so that nice things like bicycles are the easy thing.
