Since I bought an e-bike my car has run its battery flat more than once, which is a good sign of how often it gets used. I had to get one of those drip chargers just to keep the battery topped up. E-bikes are a game changer. Originally I got one because I wrecked my right leg and have trouble getting the bike up to speed (once cruising it is fine though, because that requires much less force). But after a very short time I realized that besides the low starting torque the range is what really made me happy, the fact that even against the wind I can do 50 km in a bit under two hours without arriving dripping with sweat.

I've done a few thousand on the e-bike now and it is only getting used more and more. Car trips are now anything in really bad weather, long distance or with more cargo than the bike can take.
