this is a core use case for e-bikes--at least for those deterred by hills in their route. Others (because of, for instance, geared drive trains) are ok with elevation gain/loss, and still others actually prefer hills (like my colleague training for a triathalon). Having showers at work is nice as well
- s0rce 9y agoI have a standard 21 speed, my commute home (SF East Bay) has a 15% grade for part of the 300ft gain, even with the gears its still fairly intense. I don't mind too much since its on my way home but I'm definitely tired when I get home. I can see a lot of people not wanting to deal with this, especially if they have other commitments after work.
