I’m going to wager this comment was posted and upvoted by people who have never been to Boise. Because that place has a good amount of people biking around. Especially around Boise state and for recreation.
I’d bet an electric bike would work well in most cities, especially ones that you can reference and people recognize.
I think the market that it misses most is the people who live outside of cities/towns, and have to travel that initial 10+ miles just to get into the city. Still feasible, but less so
And winters.
I live in one of these out west cities. I’d take an electric bike over my car in a heartbeat for most of the spring/summer/fall. To bad a decent electric bike is extremely expensive.
these are feasible in cities that you wouldn’t want to drive a car in anyways. probably not so good for commuting around Boise Idaho
Because Boise, ID is not interested in building the necessary infrastructure for ideological reasons.

Been to Boise many time. Take a trip to Europe and then come back and tell me what you think of Boise’s bike infrastructure.

Boise is a college down that is VERY bike friendly. Nearly 200miles of bike lanes and trails.
