the whole idea of an electric bicycle is dumb.

It's not.

It gets you from point A to B, costs nearly nothing to charge, and is environmentally friendly.

Why waste money on a electric alternative of a transportation device that was made to both make you do excercise AND to get you places?

It gets you there faster and without sweating. My eBike goes 50KPH. I arrive at my destination with no sweat.

If you want to get places faster, or just showoff on two wheels, that’s what motorbikes are for.

I'm sorry, but you're being very ignorant. A motorbike is thousands of dollars, requires hundreds of dollars per month in insurance, requires licenses, maintenance, fuel, etc.

Not to mention not everyone can ride a standard bike. Older people, people with chronic illnesses, etc. I personally had a double lung transplant. I'm not pedal biking, nor am I paying $750/month for motorbike insurance in my province.
