I know. But almost the whole of Europe, from the Atlantic to the Black Sea, has electrified railways. Diesel only makes sense where you have very low traffic compared to the distance.

It also makes sense when you're a company that's cash flow-limited, or a risk-averse company that's worried about relying on a monosony from an electricity provider (who is itself another private company that could one day be bought by a competitor).

I agreed to buy one, until the seller said the
battery was dying. He was willing to discount
it by the price of a new battery. Problem...
Can't buy any for this bike. And it was a spendy
thing by a respected major manufacturer.
So no electric bikes for me until things settle
down, & they'll be maintainable for many years.
Til then, my bike is powered by cheeseburgers.

I've also had bad experiences with electric leaf
blowers. Those things die at too high a rate.
But gasoline engines will now outlast me.

It's why I say it's far inferior technology.

Just to clarify, I meant ev bicycles rather than ev motorcycles. Mostly for corner store trips.
