> In a bold step towards modern warfare, the French Army is investigating the use of electric bikes (e-bikes) and motorcycles in tactical operations. This unconventional move marks a significant milestone in military innovation, as these e-vehicles, typically associated with urban commuting or leisure activities, are now being considered for covert operations.
Vs. if you know some history - the German army (for one) has already used bicycles and motorcycles to make their infantry more mobile. At scale. During WWII. In German-occupied France.
Conclusion after 1 paragraph - this is a Clicky McFeel-Good article, with zero understanding of either the military context, or the history.
