North Cape May Spouter Re: Ebikes: I did not understand the benefits of the Ebike before I bought one, so hopefully I can educate you on some of the benefits like some did for me before I purchased. First, if you can take a 20 mile bike ride under your own power, congratulations! You are in the minority however. Many like to stay out longer, and ride further than they otherwise had been able to thanks to electric bikes. I regularly ride 20 miles, with the workout being as hard or easy as I like. Windy day? Not a problem, as wind can now be compensated for. Changed my life, worth every penny.
