      Poor people can afford $40000 vehicles, but they can’t afford a $1500 e bike?

        Can a E-Bike carry your three children to school? Your groceries for 5 people? Does it protect you from rain and shitty weather?

        And 4k for a car… Idk i could get a working car for 1k…

      I imagine poor people will appreciate better air quality and less noisy cars around too.
      London has pretty good public transport, people shouldn’t be driving.
