Use both...looks the best way for me now
I think you might enjoy that too.
It's several years since pedalling, under my own power, was my second choice to driving my car. Running a car in the countryside, seemed to me at that time, an absolute necessity, and my road bike, I had no ebike then, was a best choice, before the local gym, for best, not-boring, keep fit time..
​​​​
It occurred to me that IF ebiking to nearby towns, was possible, there could be huge savings to be made, although I have always loved driving, and giving up, entirely was a sad thought.
. Everything has, so far, worked out perfectly.
I can hire a car for a few days whenever I need to make a long trip or a delivery, too heavy for my ebike..

For almost every trip, now, my ebike has proved to be pure joy.
I have slowly discovered how to take best care of it, and fitted it with chunky tyres that cope with all surfaces.
Once, I had to ride home on completely flat tyres, but the chunky protection was unblemished!
I can visit two favourite towns, each about 40kms return trip, under my rain poncho, in wet weather, and trips to all three, nearby, local stores, in three different villages, are far better than tedious gym-time exercises. And of course, cost free

Still, the better exercise, greater energy required for NO E-POWER biking, had a lot of appeal, and I thought seriously about trying out my son's abandoned road racer. He gave it to me, but it was almost Impossible for me to ride, until recently.
Now, I'm hoping to ride short distances, without E-POWER.
I have fully serviced the lightweight road racer, it is ready to go!
I should be able to ride it to the nearest village.
Before I found out how to use the gears properly, it was hopeless to attempt a hill ..but I could use the light bike as a kind of Zimmer frame, to carry shopping.

Happy biking, everyone.
