Yeah, I really do see the pluses of ebikes. I've rented a few of them on Citi Bike in NYC. They are fun. I pedal just as hard, I just go faster, so I don't lose the exercise.
I might convince my wife to get one sooner, as she's not very strong and doesn't have much stamina. We could go farther if I'm on a pedal bike and she's on an ebike.
