Where do you live? How did you come across this highly unusual impression?

Hamilton, Ontario. Here, "e-bike" means an electric scooter/moped, and they have a reputation for being used by drunks and the down-and-out here, unfortunately.

Yeah, lets hate on poor people.

I wasn't hating on anyone, I was describing the very real perception of "e-bikes" in my area, and I did mention that it's a classist problem.

I'm describing the classism, not participating in it.
