Based on other reports of US bribery, it might not even be that much. Politicians seem to be on sale for shockingly little money sometimes, especially at the local level.
There are absolutely people who live in the suburbs and still use some form of micromobility as regular transport. I live in a suburb and commute by bicycle or ebike almost every day unless the weather is really bad or I have to haul something very heavy/big.
Yeah, compared to my regular bike, my ebike rides like shit. I wish I’d bought a more traditional bicycle-like ebike rather than my cheap folding Chinesium bike shaped object.

Well I’ve saved my pennies and I now finally have enough to get an Ebike. after HOURS of watching youtube videos, reviews, etc. I think I’ve narrowed my choice to these two options....
No way, there are definitely reputable, well established ebike companies out there. Most of them are the same ones who make reliable bicycles like Specialized and Trek. Ebikes aren’t really that new at this point, in fact the first electric bike was invented in 1895.
What makes a fundamentally good ebike though, is that underneath the motor and battery is a good, solid bicycle. Buying some cheap, fly by night no-name bike ups the odds that something breaks while you’re riding and you end up with a life altering injury. Worse yet, the poorly manufactured battery Alphabetsoupcompanyname used is more likely to catch on fire and that 15AH battery is now an incendiary bomb that burns your building down.
It’s really, really not worth it to gamble on random Amazon ebikes, go to your local bike shop or an REI instead.
I almost bought one in 2006 but ended up buying a Trek mountain bike instead. I don’t really regret it though, I still ride the MTB today and I can’t even remember the name of the ebike maker so that ebike probably would’ve been toast years ago, never mind being able to source replacement batteries.
