What does EBIKE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A bicycle with an electric motor that assists the rider's pedalling.
An ebike does not replace the work, it multiplies it: the motor cuts in while the cranks are turning and cuts out at a set speed, which is what keeps it legal as a pedal cycle in most countries. The difference it makes is less about speed than about hills and headwinds, and it has quietly changed who cycles at all — the sharpest growth is among people over fifty.
