Electric bikes are the most climate-friendly way to travel - Triangle Blog Blog

I like that this article preemptively acknowledges that ebikes are not always the right transportation mode for every single thing, but they don't have to be. Too often whenever ebikes come up you get those people going "but what if I need to bring a couch which derails from the real point. It's like saying trains aren't an efficient way to move people because those people can't also move furniture.

No, an e-bike is not going to get you to the beach. You’re not going to be able to transport a couch sectional. And it won’t work for your six-kid carpool to the soccer game. But there is no reason that a single vehicle needs to accomplish every transportation need. Use the car for the carpool, and use the e-bike for shorter trips in-town, to the pharmacy, out to dinner, to meet friends, or even to the grocery store, You’d be amazed what you can carry with the right equipment.
