Segway ends production of its original scooter
Try bringing a two stoke engine onto a subway. That’s not their only appeal, but e-bikes simply work better in many urban areas.
Cargo e-bikes are vary niche, but still have real advantages over two stroke engines.

If you are dropping down into a subway why would the engine be running? Unless you mean the hazardous fuel on the bike not being allowed on the train.

Bringing a gasoline vehicle into the MTA would get you ticketed real quick. Oil/gas smells, potential leaks, hot exhaust - lots of things you don't want on an underground shoulder to shoulder transit vehicle.
