Why would you use an E-bike? 🤨
To get places? I don't understand the question.
I ask because i think the whole idea of an electric bicycle is dumb.
Why waste money on a electric alternative of a transportation device that was made to both make you do excercise AND to get you places?
If you want to get places faster, or just showoff on two wheels, that's what motorbikes are for.
I love biking but there are times where I need to get somewhere across town and I don’t feel like pedaling there and back.
In my town there are lots of inexpensive and rentable e-bikes. Very easy to use, not overly powerful or noisy. I see lots of people using them to go out or commute.
I’d like to get one of my own because the rentable ones have zero shock absorption.
