What do these four things have in common?

  1. The Toyota Prius.
  2. Hank Green of @vlogbrothers
  3. Elon Musk.
  4. My new ebike. This isn't a rant against car culture or elitist tunnels (sorry, Elon haters), but it is a bit of a rant about what may be holding back the mass acceptance of ebikes in North America.

Here's the TLDR: Do ebikes need to be more danceable?
