I can't say I prefer my ebikes to my other bikes as all my bikes have a purpose. When a certain task is at hand I use that bike. I actually use my ebikes allot less than my other bikes (specifically my Velomobile and now newly added to the stable, Quattrovelo Velomobile) and when I do use my ebikes I use the motor as little as possible. One ebike is my dedicated winter bike with studded tires and very handy to use when there is snow and ice. The other ebike is a cargo bike used in nicer weather for grocery runs and deliveries when needed for my business.
