>>1930325Because using a regular bicycle is too much effort. It's unpleasant.
An e-bike is way more convenient.
>b-but exerciseOn an e-bike I can exercise exactly as hard as I feel like. If my legs get tired it's really nice to be able to rely on the motor for a while to give them a rest. I don't ride my bike for exercise, it's just a minor side benefit.
>b-but moneyE-bikes aren't that expensive. And it pays for itself since it replaces car trips. More than a regular bike would. If I rode a regular bike instead I would drive more and that would be more expensive in the long run.
