Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

      extremely expensive.

      Not compared to owning/maintaining a car.

        If you are still required to own and maintain that car even with the ownership of the bike, then yes, it is.

      Say it to delivery workers in Moscow. No, say it to Finns.

            Or how to prepare for winter delivery in Saint Petesbirg.

            TLDR:

            1. Warm clothes
            2. Not an iphone or any other poorly-designed piece of crap that won’t last even few hours

          Given winter being almost constant weather condition in Finland I assume they don’t stop delivering because they are on another side of melting point.

          And about Russians yes. I see food delivery workers using ebikes entire year in any weather.

      To bad a decent electric bike is extremely expensive.

      I’d say decent ones are down to about $1000 these days.
