The main advantage of an electric bike is less about distance and more about terrain. The distance is nice too, but while electric assist it might have some impact on how long a trip you're willing to make, it'll have a huge impact on your willingness to take trips through hilly areas. This can open up whole new parts of the city for accessing casually by bike.

Where e-bikes can really shine, is increased speed. If you can do 40 an hour (km's), biking becomes a viable alternative to traffic jams. And that's happening already in NL.
