I have been using an e bike to get to work although my journey is only 9 miles it can take up to 2 hrs by bus across South London on most days. It's great to be out in the open and my journey is reduced to 45 mins .I have a folding MTB which I have taken to Skye and the Highlands ,very handy where transport is scarce. The bike managed a very steep set of hills with little effort.
