We lived in Tacoma, WA for a bit and our eBike took care of things most of the time. If we were still in Seattle, I would probably have wanted a bit higher voltage because it would struggle on really steep hills. But we were able to sell our car and just use the bike for several months before we moved.

Ebikes really make biking in the US make sense. It's just not walkable and hard to bike, but ebikes really bridge that gap unless you're really rural.

Gonna have to get used to them anyway. Cheap oil won't last forever and electric infrastructure for cars just isn't realistic. Even if it was, there are too many other problems to make them scale.
