I like the eBike because I can go farther, faster, and not overdo it. I live in hilly San Diego County and being a sprinter-type, the hills slow me to a crawl. I put my Favero Assiomas on the eBike and ride for 2-2.5 hours before the battery runs out (47 miles, 3,000ft elevation gain). I can hop back on the bike and do that 2-3 days in a row and get really good aerobic training in. I can't ride like that unassisted.
I also commute 30 minutes each way to/from work daily. I switch between my road bike and eBike when I want to work on hard efforts.
I'm buying an extended-range battery to get in 5+ hour rides. I should have almost 110miles of range and 3-4,000ft of climbing with both batteries.
