Yeah. Having spent a decent amount of time in Florida gated communities, I just don't see electric bikes replacing electric golf carts.

You already have a golf cart and the only thing the bike can do is use a bike lane. Sure somebody who likes to bike might get one just like somebody who likes tennis might get a pickleball set but the average person is just going to get an electric golf cart.

One crucial detail in my eyes - e-bikes are almost always going to be cheaper. That is meaningful, to some, and may become meaningful to more.

Also, parking and storage. As cost of housing goes up, so too does the cost/size of parking/storage.
