In my case having an e-bike makes me take far fewer trips by car than I would
without an e-bike. I’m not going to go car free because I like to drive but I
do use my cars way less these days. I have a cargo e-bike so I am
It's a matter of this isn't a Riv-sponsored group and some of us like these
new lightweight motors and batteries on our bikes. They're not bicycles in
