Why are you gatekeeping? Some people only want transportation, not a workout. Ebikes are infinitely better than cars in every way.
Why are you gatekeeping cars then? Some people only want transportation where they don’t get soaked in the rain, or cold in the winter.
Do I really need to repeat every reason why cars suck?. Just check everything else in this community.
Relevant for this conversion is that driving a car is far less exercise than even an ebike, and that generally people riding any kind of bikes creates a positive feedback loop where others feel more comfortable, cities build infrastructure, ect.
All those same things apply when you compare actual bicycles to e-bike though. An e-bike is a half-measure, at best.
