I do this even if the temperature is perfect because I am not comfortable riding in work clothes.

What happens if the e-bike battery gets too low or the motor otherwise malfunctions? I understand you can still pedal it as normal, but how bad is that on an 50lb bike? (what do they weigh?)

Then you just ride it like a normal bike, depending on what set up you have, it can be no noticeable difference... like a normal bike or it can be like pushing a moped, not really doable. On my set up, if you didn't see the E-Assist parts on it and you rode it you probably wouldn't even tell it was am E-Assist bike.
