Also Inc., the micromobility startup spun out of Rivian earlier this year, has raised $200 million from Greenoaks Capital, according to a new report from Bloomberg News…
Now established as its own company, Also plans to make micro-EVs of all shapes and sizes, and is supposed to reveal the first designs at some point later this year.
My belief of what this community dislikes comes down to shitty infrastructure and danger to unprotected individuals just having a good time. Also a bit fossil fuels, but I feel that’s mainly a bonus point here. So motorcycles fall in the category car infrastructure and danger to others at high speed (and a small bit fossil fuel), but ebikes fall in the category bike infrastructure so that’s good although they are still a danger at high speeds but then again also no fossil fuels.
So scoring between -2.5 (heavy car with ice) to +2.5 (slow durable bike), I’d say ebikes score at least +1.5 here. Wich you could translate to 4 out of 5 or 8 out of 10 so very much not like motorcycles which I would score -2, which is 3 out of 10.
So I’ve seen people in my neighborhood in bike lanes and sidewalks going really fast.
After reading the other comments, I don’t really know to differentiate an e-bike in a bike lane or an e-motorcycle in a bike lane. I think the latter had people in my neighborhood complaining. It doesn’t really bother me since they don’t actively try to hit me but a lot of older people don’t like it. I just worry that some of them don’t wear helmets.
