Copenhagener here. People do use eBikes in Copenhagen, but I guess it depends on what you consider “very few”. My guesstimate would be that around one in five bikes is electric. As to why not more bikes are electric, Copenhagen - and Denmark in general - is very flat, so eBikes are more so used for:

• long distances (say, people who live ~20 km from work but still want to bike there)
• cargo/passenger bikes
• letting people bike who otherwise wouldn’t physically be able to

So wise. Thank you, Beri

Beri of the floor, what is your wisdom?

Like this?

Back in your own discomfort zone

It’s way too cramped and crowded

There’s an open gate to a clearer place

Not so overclouded

But i truly fear that you’re going clear

Somewhere in the distance

And my heart will break, if you’re gonna take

The path of least existence
