| Comment | Speed limited e bike owner here - I use it to commute to my job and for any other travel - i find the speed very controllable and although it might mean an overtake on a hill, it’s still involving effort to pedal as the assist basically just takes some of the stress out of the hill. I’ve gained fitness using the e bike and at the same time stayed motivated to do my 14 mile round trip commute each day. Not excusing in any way those who use these bikes in a dangerous way as I’ve had a few near misses myself with illegal e bikes, but they could be amazing for those who want to ditch the car, save some money and get a bit of exercise without it feeling too overwhelming. |
