But I agree with you, for sure, in every other situation that an electric bike is a great way to get around for:
- People who need to assistance to keep up on a ride with their friends
- People who need it to get to work not being exhausted
- People who just want a fallback for riding to work in case they're feeling tired that day
- Guest bike (I'm thinking of getting one so people can keep up with me, haha)
- People who like to tinker with new tech
- Etc, etc, etc...
