It may be a cheatercycle, but especially on hot days like today, it’s very nice to be able to take advantage of the cooling breeze you get while you’re pedaling without having to pedal so hard you’re overheated anyway. If an electric motor gets me to take the bike when I would have been tempted to get into the car, it’s a good thing.
I couldn’t resist riding it to the DMV today to register my car. How’s that for irony? Of course it would be better if I could get by without the car at all, but I live a bit to rural for that.

congrats! I’ve had an ebike for about 10 years. I blew out the battery once pulling a load of groceries up a hill…
