I bought my wife an ebike to get her riding more. And I found an ebike got me riding more. We've planned a few trips that include rides on scenic bike paths or roads. We never thought about that when we were younger. These rides would be no fun for us on a fast moped. First, they're not allowed. Then we would have to worry more about traffic.
Some e-bikes are too easy to pedal. I don't like them at all. When I ride my ebike alone, I put in enough work to come home sweaty and tired in the legs.
