    Considering itrCOs the city of london, only ie LondonrCOs old financial district aka the Square mile which is unsurprisingly only a Square mile!
    And is a very particular type of London with very low population, lot of
    the pubs close during the weekend, and so on. ItrCOs a very interesting part
    of london but itrCOs not remotely representative of London as whole similar situation but different to Westminster.

    While itrCOs certainly true in some places do see the E motos being used on
    the commute, most of the the fellow commuters I pass on the old Cycleway,
    are E motos though itrCOs not a heavily used route, at most see 4/5 over few miles, that area is very car centric and a outlier for london ie big multi
    lane roads etc.

    Others places do see E Motos about but they are for example massively outnumbered by the electric Dockless bikes. And plenty of non electric
    bikes, itrCOs relatively uncommon to see privately owned electric bikes, bar cargo bikes which see quite a few.

    E-bikes would cause themselves a lot less trouble if they rode like bicycles or motorcycles on city streets and kept off of bike trails.

    The finalcisl district in San Francisco is flat but most of financial entities have moved to get away from human excrement on the sidewalks and tent cities springing up in public areas. Everyone has a Tesla now so gas prices are of no import.
