It's about enjoying riding
At 70 years of age I found I was not enjoying riding as much as I had. Due to a myriad of health issues I could longer ride like I once had. Being a serious "roadie" with over 220,000 miles on some light weight bikes enough was enough. I purchased an Orbea Gain D30 this February. What a game changer. Unless you look real close you can't tell it's an ebike. At 31 lbs it's light for an ebike. I ride 30 miles a day and wind or hills do not ruin my ride. The best is that I don't feel beat up after a ride. It's not about going fast but enjoying the ride, I had almost 50 years going fast, now I am enjoying riding again.
