Has anyone here ever used an E-bike?
Curious of your thoughts.

I use mine everyday
I'm considering getting one. How would you rate your experience from day to day with it on a scale of 1-10?
They are underrated, I use it all the time to run errands, go to grocery store, gym, restaurants ect..
From what I'm seeing most people who have actually used them seem to say similar things about them being pretty underrated. It's hard to get people to agree basically unanimously so that's a good sign.
I use an electric scooter, a lot of fun, especially as it's highly illegal, despite being able to hire them legally.
I love idiotic government laws 😂
I used to repair them. They are pretty good. In Canada they are usually built to go faster than is legal so they have a speed governor you can detach. Not recommended, of course.
I recommend utility over looks. Lots of the cool looking ones break down compared to the large, lame ones (emmo GT80 comes to mind). Find ones with standard batteries as some will use wacky 16v ones that are harder to find stock and are more expensive.
Lithium is great but was more expensive than the stock sla. A few garages were burnt down from poorly made packs...
Also, the e-bicycles are great. Its hard to mess those up.

They are fiat as fuck. Just pedal you actually get exercise and some cardio.
I'm a well-documented e-bike hater though. If it suits your purposes get one, everyone I know who's had one really likes them.
It's like normal cycling, but with extra fossil fuel and conflict metal use, and less good for fitness and health.
I got a hauler e-bike. Or some call them cargo bikes. I can haul a straw bale on the back with groceries in the front. I wouldn’t be able to ride it with a full load on a hill. The bike itself weighs 50lbs.
Outside of that, a lightweight road bike with all unnecessary crap stripped off is, in my opinion, better.
*Love* my Rail 7. You can adjust the assist level depending on how much of a work out you want. Otherwise you get the same workout as a pedal bike, you just go faster and further in the same amount of time.
