I understand. I use mine for exploring and transport. 30 mile range at 20-28 mph.
Got an e-bike?

Nice, how much was it, if you don’t mind me asking?
I think there great. You can adjust how much it assists you, so you can choose how much you want to exercise. I live somewhere with a lot of hills, so without it, I wouldn't be riding.

Mine was $899. The company doesn't make that specific one anymore, but they have others in the same price range that are pretty much the same thing. It's this company:
As an ardent cyclist 🚴♀️ I wouldn’t dream of owning an electric bike. They do nothing for my fitness, and you are limited to how far you can ride , by the energy in the battery, also most of them are grossly over priced .

I must argue...
Yes I get the workout idea, but my ebike is actually my only form of transportation, so when I bought it I was looking specifically for how I could get the LEAST amount of exercise, but you can actually get as much exercise as want on an ebike - use the pedals to go as far as you feel like and when your thoroughly exhausted just twist the handle and throttle all the way back.
As far as range, I don't think many cyclists can do 30 miles in one shot. Want to double that range? Buy a second battery.
I cycle every day too wrk , a round journey of 24 kilometres, ( weather permitting) and on Sundays I ride with a group of friends, 60 kilometres .
Btw batteries are expensive , here in the Netherlands where I live, the cost around 500 euros ! 😱….also the life expectancy of a battery, is about five years .
Also I can do most of the maintenance on my bike , if and when it’s needed , that’s not possible with an electric bike .

I do all my own work on mine. It's really not hard. I'm not an electrician.

Also, the thing is just unbelievably fun. 😁
I can go blazing around all through town and neighborhoods at 2:00 in the morning (yes I actually do that) and it's so quiet that it never bothers anybody.
I would like to buy an electric step scooter 🛴…..just for the fun of it !

Here's a picture of my baby.
I customized it with new wider handlebars, a comfort seat, and then I put marble pattern wallpaper all over it.
Those are 4 inch x 20 inch tires.
Nice looking job ! 👍

I really want one - I rode motorcycles 🏍 in my youth and I’m too old for that now, but an e-bike looks soooo fun!👍👍👍
I bought one a year and a half ago and it is definitely one of the coolest things ever 😎.
Mine is a Lectric XP. I've put almost 3,000 miles on it.
