An electric bike has some advantages when in stop and go city traffic. Western New York is quite hilly. Changes in elevation can be 1000 ft. in 5 miles. We do need to update the electric bicycle laws in New York.
If you get the chance, visit Pete Stull, The Bicycle Man, in Alfred Station, NY for the large selection of recumbent bikes. The National Sailplane Museum is here in Horseheads, NY where you can see streamlining examples.
