Electric bikes are the shit! Every single person who can ride a bike should own one. They can eliminate up to 75% of car trips[1] (those under 10 miles). You hardly notice hills, never get sweaty, and never have to worry about parking.
The only downside is for apartment dwellers. If you're not on the ground floor you really want a building with an elevator, or secure bike storage on the ground floor. Those suckers are heavy and most people will not want to carry them up and down stairs.
