... put your (e)bike on a train, that's where the range come from.
Very cool experimentation but in term of making the practice sustainable best to rely on the infrastructure. It's a bit like in sports having to use the big muscles, e.g. you climb with your legs, not with your fingers no matter what super strength grip you have.
Where exactly is this train that I should put my e-bike on?
Fucking people pushing their ebikes into already crowded trains! You wanted to cycle, go cycle then; don't pester us regulars with your 30kg dirtmachine.
99% of the time it's food delivery workers who have to live in the outer edges of the city while all the orders are in the inner city.
The solution to this problem is to run enough trains that they aren't so crowded a bike wouldn't fit. These people are paying for tickets so their usage should be funding the running of more services.
Not everyone lives near mass transit nor in a city
