A friend bought one, he let me try it on some trails and I was hooked. Purchased an E MTB the following week.
Yesterday, I took it on a trail that I would have not even considered on a normal MTB. Even with the assist, it was still tough going, many times I turned it off to save battery life.
In the end, I rode a route, that I would have only tried in my 20s, maybe 30s, but now, I feel I can do them all... again
And believe me; you pedal. I was constantly pushed to my limit.
However, I would not purchase an E bike for the road, the 25 KPH is just too slow (at least, not yet)
