Let me also add: E-bikes make for a significantly faster commute than normal bikes. I commute through a crowded and hilly suburb. Driving round trips takes about 25 minutes. E-biking takes about 35 minutes. Biking takes about 60 minutes. It's a very nice compromise between exercise and more time with the kids.
- peatmoss 9y agoExactly—it's unrealistic to expect everyone to be able to power up and down hills at Lance Armstrong speeds. I can travel very long distances up and down hills under my own power... given the right balance of speed and gear ratio. I don't always have the luxury of that time. If I lived further up the hill, or had more hills that I regularly dealt with, I'd very much own an electric assist.
