I rode 17 miles today on the ebike at 8AM, and sure felt tired/sore at 6PM. Will be 72 this year.My wife and I ride for fun. We ride slow. Ebikes are letting us extend the ride.
I have one purchased eike, but it was an inexpensive model under $800. We ride home converted ebikes. They also cost around $600-800 to add a motor, batter to a bike, but I've done it for a lot less. Have about six of them, It's pretty basic. No software. Cheap parts from China.
