    EBikes are awesome. I live in a hilly area where riding is tough. EBikes allows people of all ages and abilities to get out. Even with the assistance you still burn calories… as long as it’s assisted peddling and not the illegal bikes I see delivery guys riding.

    I ride road bikes but when I get older and less capable I’ll certainly invest in an ebike.

      I don’t begrudge the deliverers their powered bikes, they have a tough enough gig and it’s one less car. I do wish e-scooters would stop going fast among foot traffic though. My kid moves pretty unpredictably, and has had near misses in pedestrian areas
