I think you may be the perfect target market for the SL. Someone that rides an analog bike for recreation but could use the assistance to get a little further or go a little longer.

I was ebike shopping for a city commuter with the intent to have something help flatten the San Francisco hills. My commute is only 6 miles each way but unfortunately I live atop a pretty large hill and have to go over or around a few more to get back and forth from work. Showering at work isn’t an option. I have, and still ride an analog bicycle for recreation.

Again I really liked the SL, it just wasn’t right for me.
