Since gasoline because unusable after awhile, most cars will become obstacles and block up roads.

So we of course want something that can zip around the roads!

The main advantages I see are:

  1. Peddle when out of juice

  2. Peddling charges the batteries, so in an emergency you can turn on the battery

  3. The batteries can reasonably be charged by solar panels that a lot of houses have.

  4. Gets around all the blocked roads.

  5. Generally easier to repair.

  6. The distance travelled on a full battery is absurd

I don’t expect any movies to put their heroes on an eBike, but they should!

IDK just thought you’d appreciate my dumb thought XD Any other reasons why during an apocalypse you should find an ebike?

      What I’m saying is that horses with broken legs - and they break relatively easily - never heal fully, hence people shooting racehorses after they fall even once.

      Not that I don’t think it is cruel, mind you.

        Be cruel not to shoot them. The pain of the initial surgery aside, you have to suspend the animal in a sling the whole time it’s healing. Can’t do that with a massive herbivore because their guts get impacted. That’s a lot of food and no walking to keep the shit flowing.
