Oh really? Maybe not moving 2,5 tons of metal and battery isnt a good idea? Maybe bikes were always a better mode of transport? I have a feeling that this was pretty obvious.

The article talks about electric bikes, not normal ones. That's e-bikes, or rather what I suspect that they are peddling as a newsertainment article: e-scooters.

until it is raining and winter

A fully enclosed velomobile would probably do the job, but I don't think it's legal anywhere in Europe :(
