Why not

In many German towns bicycles and pedelics (e-powered bicycles) are used successful.
And I have heard that you live on islands with one or two rainy days..
I understand and support the eBikes in town, makes total sense. Given the amount of gubbins they carry these days as well!
My concern is that the average drunken person coming out of the pub at 11pm is going to see that thing, laugh and then start to take the piss out of them. Not really productive for the general public relationship and respect for the force.
