Had to google what an e-bike was. Pretty much looked like what my mind dreamed up, but dual-front-wheel jobs? WTF?

Nice weather predicted, so maybe the snow will be melted off the bike path through the woods and I can see what happens. If all else fails, there's the amusing bike rack at the library.

Taken a few months ago, so not an entry. Note the nice public bike repair station behind the racks. Pretty cool, really. Wrenches, tire levers, spoke tools, dual-head pump . . . sweet.

WHAT????
hmph.
I cry prejudice against ebikes.
They got pedals.
wheels
a seat
a frame
handle bars ..
just like any other bike

So no ebikes.
No electric bikes.

So obviously gas powered bikes are fine.
:p

the thing is....... downhill must be earned. :D
I had a bike with motorized rear wheel and that was OK for commuting since I got somewhere less stinky. But that was a long time ago and then there was no real alternative. Today on the other hand there are those e-scooter which a way cheaper that entry level bike and more practical to store out of sight.
I get that with e-bike you can actually do the same and go the same as with bicycle but I really don't see them as the same. That's all.
Not that I mind them in general.

I have dreamed of having that fatbike with an engine in both back and front wheels and then go to offroad with that. But my bike is a Crecent stolen/sosialiced from my father with Tornado 3 step help. Have been using that about 20 years.

I have 3 "bicycles"
1 serious old school classic
1 mountain
1 cruiser

then I have 1 electric bicycle
1 very serious all weather all terrain electric bicycle
1 electric motorcycle
and a gas powered.

I am thinking of taking a spare gas kit I have and putting it on the electric bicycle I have so I have a the option of either.

Frankly...where I live...it isn't an option whether to have a regular bicycle to get around or not.
Between :
1- The hills out here,
2- the inclement weather at times,
3- the distances for daily commuting,
4- the cost of daily ferry travel
5- the ferry delays and inconsistent times when the ferry can show...

All make the electric bicycle alternative a "must have" here.

2 wheel drive electric ...
I would be careful Maemish.
Not something I would build.
Since both need careful computerized regulation to work in tandem.

Better to trust an expert in the field,
Personally I would purchase ...
They are affordable
$3000 or under.

Here is a great purchasable example.

Hmmm....
there is always a wind powered bike...
All you need is a good windy day, a bike and a squirrel suit....
:D

And a flexible definition of "destination".

If you do not care where you are going, you cannot get lost!
