Laziness is real. But I think the author maybe doesn’t quite appreciate how busy teens these days can be. E-bikes can save a lot of time over a traditional bicycle. Especially in the US where your destination may be an hour ride away if you live in suburban sprawl. This can make regular bikes less practical even for physically active people.
Yeah, I see the point. I'm from Copenhagen where everything is flat and close and regular bikes are everywhere, so I guess I read it from a privileged position.
