    I’ll never forget how e-bikes are so fucking powerful that they INSTANTLY completely converted my lifelong driver of a dad.
    I managed to convince him to buy an e-bike, and the day he rode that home was the last day he drove a car on a regular basis. Now he says buying a bike was the best thing he ever did, and he LOVES biking to work every day, not to mention that it might well have saved his life since he has diabetes and has had at least 2 silent heart attacks before then.

      I wish I knew what it was that caused that spark. I’ve never had an e-bike, just a regular bike. It’s been a very long time since I even rode one of those, so I don’t really know what to picture in my head that sets the e-bike apart from a regular bike but not being a moped or mini-motorcycle.

        It’s… a bike that has a motor? I’m sorry but this is something i’ll never be able to understand, surely it’s obvious what makes an e-bike better?
