Ability to travel where a car or motorcycle cannot, e.g. cycle lanes. I live on a large campus and travel about 7 miles per day on it, needing to get around quickly and efficiently. The e-bike is ideal for that job.

Secondly, environmental reasons.

Thirdly, convenience: easy to start/stop, no protective clothing needed.

Fourthly, health. Being out in the fresh air for extended periods is fun (I go on long rides two or three times each week) and good exercise.

Fifthly, cost. I rarely drive distances under 5 miles where previously I frequently did.
