>>1182755I have daily driven my ebike for a year only needing to change the chain and cassette. It costs me 10 cents of electricity to do twenty miles. I can store it in my apartment. Electric motors require no maintenance and all the other parts are widely available in any LBS.
Meanwhile a scooter requires gas so you will reek after riding it, cannot be taken inside, cannot be carried and is a pain in the ass to get replacement parts for.
As for cycling, ebiking is simply faster and easier for commuters who just want to get to where they are going.
