Why e-bikes are a game changer

E-bikes are more affordable than ever, too! Costco sells a folding e-bike for under $500. Many of the same principles apply to scooters, though I don't love how limited the range is on most of them. 

But the true car replacement is a cargo e-bike or an electric bakfiets. These are the bikes of the future, and they expand what you can do with a bike tremendously: pick people up, haul huge amounts of stuff long distances, take your kids to school. I particularly like longtails (like our Radrunner Plus) because they ride just like a normal bike.
