In your situation I would keep it on that bike and have another stupid-light pedal-only for non-assisted rides. The interesting question will be which you choose most often ;-)
I owned an e-bike before when I first "returned" to riding and eventually sold it. It was great but I ride 100% for exercise so it became unnecessary. The only reason I'm considering adding power now is because my son and I ride together a couple times a month and he gets tired of waiting for me (he=24mph, me=14mph). I love my Bike Friday as is and don't want to encumber it permanently with a motor; just want to be able to pop something off and on a couple times a month. This may not be it, though.
