I don't own my own vehicle and can't really afford to get one on my income. Thus for me, an electric bike is a good option. Even more so since I lack a driver's license and driving skills for the most part. Thus bicycle is my only means around other then walking.
My work place is around one and a half miles away roughly and takes about 15 minutes to get there and another 15 minutes to get back. I work nearly every day and get only two off days. Now that's not a lot compared to some jobs, but an e-bike works really well in place of riding the bike. My job is a bit physical (truck unloader at Wal-Mart.
), so I don't want to show up at work tired. I never really go out of town and because my town is somewhat small, everything is in easy e-bike range.
(plus the town is relatively flat, so I don't need a super high wattage system!
)
