What If Some of Those Miles Didn't Require a Car?
In cities like New Orleans, a lot of everyday trips are actually pretty short.
- Commuting to work
- Running errands
- Meeting friends
- Picking up groceries
These are exactly the kinds of trips where many people are now using e-bikes instead of driving.
Electric bikes cost only pennies to charge and can often handle the kinds of short trips that would otherwise require starting the car.
For many riders, an e-bike becomes the second vehicle they didn't realize they could live without.
