Electric scooters exist already, I'm not sure people would like to get rid of the ability to pedal themselves; most electric bikes are designed with the motor in a supporting role in any case. People don't always have the motor on, would like to be able to use the bike even when the battery runs out, and how much weight do pedals add anyway?
I surely don't share the observation that the Corolla has been produced yet; it's basically the Gazella Orange (around these parts).
