I would second that.. though in addition I would say that I can't and won't drive ( never passed my test and too expensive anyway). I have a four year old and I was getting back from work about ten minutes before she went to bed.. (absent Father!). The electric bike reduces my commute time by on average 45 minutes during rush hour.. I can wiggle through residential areas). In addition, my commute involves negotiating some serious hills ( I live in Bath) and I didn't fancy doing it alone on a conventional bike as it would involve showering and changing when I arrive, so I decided to buy an electric bike that would climb the hills reliably and leave me fresh and not too sweaty!
hope that helps,
