Biking is a great exercise. I do not have the electric assist, but my buddy does. He can go almost anywhere a golf cart goes and at a decent speed .. when necessary. I can’t, especially when I’m tired or dehydrated. The bridges and bends and curves in the underpasses are quite challenging without the electric assist. After a right angle turn, you are pretty much at zero to start the incline out of the underpass. Pretty daunting for a senior at the end of a hot day. I would have the assist to get home safely.

I would also use it to feel the wind in my hair and catch bugs in my teeth. 😃
