More than a leveler, it's an enabler. I don't think my wife would be riding at all without electric assist. We don't go very fast, only 12-14 mph, but these small inclines that used to to stop her in her tracks are like nothing. With the COvid lockdown, we've been riding almost every day since March (when it's over 50F).

I gave my sister (age 68) and her husband a pair of my ebike conversions last Xmas. They're riding every day too when they're not fishing, and next month will be driving 200 miles to Iowa to ride the High Trestle trail. When my wife heard it was 25 miles, she sez "that's nothing".
