I ride my e-bike for exercise, occasional errands and with Covid, an opportunity to get outside, perhaps in the socially distanced company of friends. I’m retired so have no need to commute.
I switched from analog this spring because I was finding I couldn’t sustain longer rides. And longer was anything over ten miles. After a summer and fall on the e-bike, 20 and 30 mile rides are regular occurrences. Weather permitting, I do frequent ten milers every week. None of that was possible prior to electricity.
