Charging batteries is a hassle. Having to even think about it is a hassle. I like bikes because they are basically hassle free. They need no fuel, almost no maintenance. I put it in my basement and pick it up the next day without thinking about it once in between. I don't care that much if it gets stolen since I paid less than a 100 for it 7 years ago. So get an ebike if you feel like it or need it, but don't underestimate the simplicity of a trusty old fashioned bike.
