> Only reason I don't buy one is because cycling as my commute is a great fitness for me, and going electric I would lose that. People vary, of course, but my own experience is I ended up getting a lot more exercise after going electric. I go on longer trips, and since I'm not scared of ending up 'stranded' from being exhausted somewhere far from home, I do it more often and put more power into the pedals. Of course that means going faster, but that just means I get to see more of the terrain.
