My wife and I bought Electra ebikes last year and it is the best thing we ever did. It takes the suck out of riding. No concerns about wind or hills just the pleasure of being out in the open air and getting as much or as little exercise as you feel like at that moment. For couples who are at different ability levels it also levels the playing field as most bikes have different power levels. There are the cynics who would criticize us for having a motorized bicycle but these bikes are pedal assist and I would say back to them if you want the true challenge of riding a bicycle don’t talk to me unless you are writing a single speed bike. LOL. Ride safe all and enjoy.
