E-Bikes as Mainstream Transportation

E-bikes have evolved from a novelty into a popular mode of transport, especially during the pandemic when they provided a convenient option for delivery workers and commuters. Their rise in usage has been supported by significant legislative measures, such as the Build Back Better Act, which allocates tax credits for e-bike purchases, promoting their adoption. Notably, e-bikes are seen as a means to encourage healthy exercise among individuals who may find traditional cycling challenging, particularly older or less active riders. This trend highlights how e-bikes are making cycling more accessible, pushing a broader demographic towards outdoor activities.
