I think that’s a big part of the problem with electrified bikes, scooters and the like. As long as they are used as an alternative to more polluting and less sustainable modes of transport, that can be a win. But if they’re used as alternatives to walking or unmotorised modes of transport, they’re doing more harm than good. And I’m afraid that’s the case more often than not.
