Apples and oranges.
I ride my Ebike all over the CG. I may ride it into town or to the ch area .
I ride my Ebike distances I could never ride a regular bike.
An Ebike flattens the hills and picks up the slack that a regular bike doesn't do.
It not about $$$ or longevity its about going from point A to B with ease. An Ebike takes you up the inclines in ways that a allow older riders to keep riding.
Some may call it cheating. But cheating is driving the car to town,
Ebikes allow one to enjoy the biking experience, while maintaining a comfortable pace and getting some exercise.
An Ebike makes biking enjoyable vs. challenging.
I get some enjoy the challenge and a more intense work out, However there are many that are beyond their days of being challenge by a bike and prefer an enjoyable ride.
I have a Pedego Boomerang rated to carry 350# with upgraded wheels
