>literally better than walking
Anon, a standard non-ebike is also more efficient than walking. This doesn't mean anything. A bicycle for the same input energy as walking will move you 4 times as fast. If for the sake of argument your walking speed was about 3 miles per hour, for the same effort on a bike you can be expected to go about 12 miles per hour, for the effort required to jog it's closer to 20 miles per hour, without needing any batteries, without needing any charging apparatus or external power sources. The entire point of a bicycle is that they're efficient. If you want a machine that moves itself, that's fine, but at that point, why not just get a Moped or electric motorcycle instead?
I can already tell you why, and that's because you don't have a license for one, and E-bikes are literally just slow electric mopeds for people without licenses. And for some reason you retards have a tard crashout whenever someone points this out. If you wanted a machine for efficiency, you'd just use a standard bike. But you don't just want a machine for efficiency, you want a machine that can take you places fast and with little effort. And there is nothing wrong with this, but for Christs sake please stop pretending e-bikes are a replacement for real bikes, at least not anymore or less than a motorcycle is.
