That would be the equivalent of biking to Utica Ave/Eastern Parkway. Lot of Brooklyn and Queens past that distance.

E-Bikes and scooters are a great way of getting people out the cars. The problem is, in NYC commuters were already out of cars (87% taking public transportation). Filling the streets with smaller vehicles isn’t a mobility solution.
