Thanks Again for your perspective. Steve
At the REI in Washington DC, A guy came out of the store with his two toddler daughters and a large package in his arms. He strapped the package to his pedal-assist cargo bike, got his daughters to climb onboard, and away they went.
My girlfriend used to live 13 miles from work. Hilly roads. She'd bicycle from time to time but said that she would have done it more often if she had an ebike.
These are the kinds of trip that only the most dedicated of cyclist would normally do. If ebikes make these kind of trips more doable for a larger number of folks, I'm all for it.
