And they charge quickly from any wall outlet, so not much additional infrastructure is required.
A single 400w solar panel will charge an ebike pretty fast.

The trade off from a 20 year old bike that gets 40+mpg doesn’t make sense.

Somewhat true in the short term. Also very appropriate to electro for an EV future.

It doesn’t even make sense in the long term, yet. If your 20 year bike can’t be fixed you don’t run out and buy a new EV, you buy a used gas bike because it’s dirt cheap and you don’t have the money to buy a new or used EV.
There’s different economics at play.
