I certainly do. When I had an acoustic bike, I felt like some of the hills around me were annoying to ride up, so I didn’t ride as much. Now I can boost up the steep hills, and ride with no assistance the rest of the ride.
yeah this is an under-appreciated aspect of e-bikes: you stop fearing exhaustion, because at any point you can just turn on assistance and take a break.
Moving with assistance is better than not moving at all, and people with e-bikes tend to ride for longer because it’s easier to do so.

I don’t even have range anxiety cause the bike is perfectly fine to ride without juice.
that’s the beauty of it, an e-bike will inherently help lessen any range anxiety you might feel, as it helps train your legs and heart!
Exactly. I love my mechanical bike but my ebike has definitely been used more
Unless the bicycle looks smth like this, calling it acoustic is ridiculous.
counterpoint: funy
I’ll get one at some point in my life, hopefully they won’t all be flimsy crap by then.
