Have an E-bike also, converted Schwinn, but wouldn't let that sway my decision on any other EV.   Though mine is a very good experience, so actually a positive vote for more EVs.

 

Curious, so just checked, see which influenced which, bike or MB;

... E-MB - Sept 2021

... E-bike conversion - Nov 2021

... MG - Oct 2022

 

I prefer ICE. A more rewarding riding/driving experience and more convenient. Hybrids are a decent compromise. 

 

I believe in 20 years or so we will look back at EV as a failed technology. OK for 10-20 minute commutes around congested cities though, which is what I use my E-Bike for when I can be bothered to carry the battery up to my condo for charging.

How does an ICE give a more rewarding riding / diving experience ??..  is the noise, vibration, something more visceral, or is that we've grown up with it and there's an element of nostalgia ?

 

Perhaps our kids will look back fondly and state... I prefer EV, its a more rewarding experience than this nuclear cell power.

 

I've no idea.... I think EV's will be around for a long time, government have backed EV's too much, but I suspect ultimately hydrogen will be the best option...
