My wife and I own one of the RadMission ebikes[1] each, and I now fully believe that they are the missing middle transportation that many cities, even in suburbs.

We've taken these bikes on, long trips on a trial, grocery runs, trips to the gym, and even on dates. These things are a ton of fun, and I can safely keep up with cars on many, not all, city streets.

I think ebikes can effectively replace cars for many trips, they cause minimal wear to city infrastructure, require much less space on roads, cause a lot less traffic, and generally improve the health and well being of people in a city.

I think we need an ebike revolution as much as we need an electric car revolution.
