Surprised no comment in this thread mentioned speed actually, apart from cargo space of course.

In my area traffic is completely quiet. In a car you can go 120km/h in the highways fine, and even almost that in some specific non highway streets.

I always want to get one until I remember:

1. I WFH and “university FH”. Both are >100km from my house for when I rarely need to go.

2. My gym is 15km away and I barely get there in time in my car at the aforementioned speeds. There are no closer ones.

3. My non-e-bike is just my weekend workout (which I love) but if using for workout, e-bike doesn’t make much sense.

4. The only other use case for my car is getting groceries for my entire family or other cargo heavy things.

If you have time,

or don't have time, but still want variety in your route/scenery,

there's no better option.
