I have an electric that I love, but 95% of my riding is on a conventional bike because I want the exercise. 15 MPH on my ebike takes half the effort of going 10 MPH on my conventional bike. I do like the ebike when doing 50+ miles because of the time savings. My ebike, at my pace, has a range of 100-120 miles which is way above average.
