Pros:

  • Cool way to die

Cons:

  • Literally none

More seriously, I believe they're very fuel/energy efficient, but generally have stability problems.

I mean, E-Bikes tho

In a country with good infrastructure they basically instantly upgrade the accessibility and travel distance one person has within their area.

Plus they're just insanely fun to ride on, not having to get off and walk up hills makes it ridiculously easy to pretend you're in a mariokart game when you're on a loop of streets by yourself.

As an E-Bike user, I endorse this statement, but I think a vehicle that weighs a literal ton tipping over might be a bit more trouble than a bicycle doing the same.
