2 GTech ebikes and 2 triple bypasses.

At this rate, it looks like I'll be seeing a lot more ebikes this year. Some good friendly ebike banter here.

I think e bike owners fall into two categories.. There are us, and everyone else!
I met a lady in the everyone else category cycling along the canal with her daughter and having the time of her life, but I suspect, as with ordinary bicycles, that after a few rides most will end up unloved and unridden in a cellar, attic or shed..
On a similar note, I wonder what the percentage is of cycles bought that dont get used?

I'm sure that they're bought with the best intentions. Only to find out that the fun factor is virtually non-existent, when you have to work for every inch gained.

Probably magnified by the beginners schoolboy error of trying to go to fast too quickly and falling foul of the first gradient.

I believe the average total mileage of a normal bicycle is around 40 miles in its life time...
