One of those isn't a benefit and the other isn't true. Also, e-bikes are a thing

How is that not more compact than a bicycle?

Also for some people not having to pedal is actually a necessity so yes it's a benefit to some.

Electric scooters did take off though, and you don't need to pedal nor balance the thing.

Anyone who can't pedal is also gonna have trouble standing upright and maintaining a neutral balance on a thin board
