I think of e-bikes as a kind of "electric horse." * Goes about as fast as a horse * Goes about the same distance as a horse * Sitting on a saddle like a horse * Out in the weather like a horse * But no feed or vet bills * No need for lots of land or infrastructure * Little ongoing maintenance * Little skill needed to ride :-)
