"...the appeal of e-bikes, especially among people who haven’t ridden a bike in decades, may help change cities' car-centric ways..As cities build protected bike lanes, research shows, more people...are likely to ride, especially women and low-income residents, increasing the demand for cities that serve people using two wheels, not just four.

RMI...estimates if even just a quarter of vehicle trips in the 10 most populous U.S. cities were on e-bikes, users would save a combined $91 million every month on fuel and vehicle maintenance."
