Not really. You still have the same issues normal bikes have; all ebikes do is give power assist and more or less fill the same niche a gas or electric moped does, for the same price as a gas or electric moped. You still have no real cargo capacity, you can't transport passengers, you are exposed to the elements, and more. While the power assist is of considerable benefit, it puts the price of the bike up immensely; many are the prices of a used motorcycle or scooter. I feel its much better to get a 4 cycle scooter or motorcycle for that; if i'm spending 3k plus on a bike, getting one that can actually do traffic or be on roads is a plus. Yes there is licensing, but ebikes will fall under your states moped laws anyways and may require having an actual drivers license instead of a motorcycle endorsement.
