Madrid's city bike share bikes are electric, probably pedal assist only. The bike share bikes we saw in Barcelona, in June 2016, were not electric assist. Barcelona does have hills, Parc Guell and Montjuic are formidable hilly.
One thing, a big thing too, is this: Is ebike money available from the users? The $9,000,000,000,000. Obama debt is $30,000. for every man, woman and child in America. Repayment, at 50% overhead, a reasonable number considering the corruption and silly, foolishness in government, will be $60,000. per person. A single mom, with three children, thus faces $240,000 Obama debt repayment obligation. A husband and wife with three children have a repayment obligation of $300,000 for their share of the Obama debt. If the single mother with three children can't pay her families debt, or refuses to pay it, and the husband and wife have to pay it, in addition to their own families debt, they have to repay $540,000, at 50% overhead, for both families. Yikes.
Point is this: elected and appointed officials must be forced to pay any and all monetary losses that non essential programs, would otherwise pass on to tax payers. This is fair, just and equitable.
