For highways of larger roads perhaps. If you’re somewhere with good bike infrastructure you won’t be able to take advantage of those nice separated lanes.

I bought a Vespa instead of an e-bike a few years ago because I thought e-bikes would get cheaper with time and I figured I already have a bike, why get a more expensive one? Also because my SO could ride with me instead of having to have two bikes.

However I noticed that bikes can still be faster than sitting in traffic and trying to filter through to the front at traffic lights. Now I have an e-bike but have kept my Vespa for the wind-in-the-hair feeling of a scooter on nice summer days.
