Electric powered bikes are actually nice to have as a boost for riding. I know I will still be pedaling as I go, but I'm using the motor to keep me at or above the 20mph range so that I can be moving more quickly then I would be under my own power. For extended periods of time I'm really only capable, in my current physical condition, of riding at a pace of about 10mph, so put a motor under me that can give me another 20mph I'm looking at 30mph or more which will be great for time efficiency, instead of taking me 30 minutes to get to work I can now get there in under 15 minutes.
