I take my kid to school on my e-bike. She's 7yo. Her school is miles away.
I carry eight bags over, £100 worth of groceries, when I go shopping on my e-bike.
When I go to work, that's a commute. I work 12hr shifts, I don't need a workout each way. Especially when it's raining, snowing, or there are strong winds.
There's a time and a place for a manual bike. Just going out for a bit of fun or cardio, or riding with my kid on her bike.
But the e-bike is a daily workhorse. Until now, people have had to use cars. In a town where we don't ride on roads, the e-bike hasn't replaced a bicycle. It's replaced a car. The world needs this. But I'm not bothered about that. I'm just enjoying it.
