minus-squareThorny_Insight@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoAre these small wheeled ebikes somehow mostly an american thing? Other than kids bikes I don’t see almost anyone riding these here in the northern europe. eBikes are generally mid-drive aswell. Rarely with hub motors.
minus-squarelud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-210 months agoI don’t know if they were specifically e bikes but I see them occasionally here in northern Europe. They are small for the sole purpose of being portable and easy to store. I have seen some bring them on trains so they can bike to and from the train. Most often they are also foldable for increased portability. E scooters have probably replaced quite a few of them since they are even more portable.
