It's the "Great Leveler". Two riders, with a 10mph difference, can ride together if one has assist. My adult son easily does 22mph+ and I can sustain maybe 14-15mph on flat distances - we can ride together if I put on my motor. No waiting at corners for me to catch up, we can actually have a conversation because I'm not using every ounce of breath and energy to try to keep pace. My neighbor got one for his wife, their marriage has greatly improved, lol.
