Electric bikes can be quite enjoyable to ride, the Bafang BBSHD can make it a breeze to go up even steep hills here in Seattle at a swift clip. The downsides come in the form of risk in transit (your in the weather, and have minimal to moderate protection from the road and others on it) and in securing your newfound transport in between use. There are very few dry, secure placea to store bikes & scooters, and fewer yet that have an outlet to charge. Shared bikes and scooters mitigate this problem somewhat, but thus far they seem to have serious maintenance issues after relatively short periods outdoors. Who wants to ride a rattly transport device thats missing screws?
