This is a bigger endorsement for ebikes than most people realize. You can absolutely be in shape and get utility from one, but they also open biking as transport to those of us who are less fit.

Yup. I see so many people like me out biking on them. I think there’s been studies that show they may be even better than regular bikes because they’re so easy people use them more. Exercise doesn’t have to be intense to do good

My neighborhood isn’t just called Washington Heights for funsies. Every place I go requires me to go uphill to get back home. My ebike makes that doable, even when I’m carrying a load full of groceries or my daughter and a friend of hers.
