Clarify what concerns you have regarding theft over your car.
Theft is an understandable concern for bicyclists and for those riding ebikes. However, depending the the situation, an electric bicycle may provide advantages to driving a car. And there are some techniques to mitigate many theft issues.
Additionally, if the electric assist is put on a high quality folding bicycle, the bicycle even has more advantages than a standard upright bicycle with an electric assist motor on it.

>But if the bike/biker is hevier,
The bike frame is heavier so it can help carry the extra weight of the motor, power pack, etc.

Some recent comments spoke of the idea that this will catch on with most people. I would like to point out that the average person today has concerns with money and being able to pay for necessities. One of the expenses it transportation. And the electric assist bicycle has the advantages of a bicycle with added advantages of low cost to free electric energy for going places.

hey not all americans are fat lazy and love SUV'S i watch videos of the traffic in places like Taiwan where they actually have bike lanes and lane splitting is allowed and wish it were like that EVERYWHERE her. bikes and scooters have more respect and are so much fun there. my motorcycle was totalled by some ass clown in a car and if everybody rode bikes they'd be more careful and traffic wouldn't be as crazy! i want an e-bike!
