I forgot to mention this when it happened, but we recently hit 500 miles on the used cargo e-bike we got last summer! During the school year, we really only use it for short trips with our kid a couple times a week, but every one of those trips is one we didn't have to take in a car. 馃帀 I love that sitting in traffic with my kid in the back seat is now a rare occurrence.
Honestly, e-bikes have been the technology that has improved my life the most in the last five years. I live in a hilly place, and with my first e-bike a few years ago, I suddenly became able to commute by bike. Then, with the cargo bike last year, I suddenly became able to take my eight-year-old places by bike.
She sometimes actually hugs me while we're out on the bike. Best damn thing in the world, and it couldn't happen in a car.
@lindsey yeah, my spouse loves her ebike in hilly Wellington. Leaving the house is easy, but getting back is a bit of a mission on pedal power alone; I try to not do it more than once a day.
