Bicycles are simple, efficient, light, long lasting and human-powered. That’s their charm.

While the word in common use has evolved to include “electric bicycles”, these are in my opinion no longer simple, efficient, long-lasting or human-powered.

An electric bike is imo uninteresting. Looking at the Jetson Bolt, it’s just another scooter. It doesn’t even have pedals so it doesn’t qualify as a bicycle.
