~7 years ago I got an e-bike and totally agree with this. It made it easy for me to bike in situations I might not otherwise have such as: When it's windy, biking with my friends who are hard core bikers and feeling like I couldn't keep up, when my plans were up in the air and I could be going 5 miles or could be going 20. It also made the travel time be basically the same as taking a car, where (especially when I was out of shape) biking was about half as fast. One thing to note is that I would use the E-bike while pedaling, not like motorcycle. People who say you "cheat yourself out of a workout", which many people have, that was not my experience. I stopped using it because of the need to haul kids around, which my ebike wasn't at all able to do.
