I you haven't owned an e-bike I'd borrow one for a few days. I was given an
e-bike to review. It was the electrified version of a bike I loved. I rode it
enough to ride a review, but even though I was able to keep it for free I
honestly didn't find it all that compelling and gave it away to a friend.
Yes getting up hills is easier, but that wasn't a good trade off for losing
most of the feelings I like on a bike. It also doesn't provide the weather
protection of a car so the times I would drive didn't change at all. It was
just competing with opportunities I would have ridden my bike and in the end I
preferred to ride.
Obviously some people like e-bikes and I have no issues with them being used
on the road. Just throwing out my experience in case it saves you a few $$.
