    E-bike user here, have been for a decade now (god, that makes me feel old). Been seeing a lot more of them around even in my sleepy little semirural area. Nice to see.

    This is very big in China. A large proportion of its traffic are mopeds, and virtually all of them are electric by now. This is a major contribution to reducing noise in cities, too.
