The most efficient EV I own......

[WannabeOwner]

it would be a hinderance for the remainder of the ride.

Solution? Say to fastest rider "Can I try yours for the return leg?"

certainly more efficient than a Model S - but unless you really live and commute in a built up area - not sure I get the point of an e-bike.

As we runners say - bicycling couldn't be that much exercise - you're sitting down the whole way. And we weren't even thinking abut e-bikes.

Surely anyone living/working in any UK city gets to experience the joy of traffic!!

This is my commute into work during non school holiday times. Add to that the faff of finding parking, and for me having to worry about getting to nursery on time afterwork given potential for horrific traffic/accidents etc.

I could run but leads to me been sweaty and needing a shower. Walking is a no go as I than have to travel another 4 miles home with my daughter after nursery pick up.

The eBike is fantastic, I can get through much traffic quicker than in a car, arrive at work without needing a shower or even change of cloth, and get fitter at the same time - Though last Friday after cycling for 40 minutes into a headwind I did need to cool down for 10 minutes when I got to work!

I don't have one but I would imagine:

Hills
Age
Disability
Speed
Fun
Laziness (!)

Ha, meet the 'Violator' 2kwh 300 amp 72v nominal output battery pack and 24kw rear motor (peak) .... when one does have to use transport other than a Tesla Model S then one must simply use the 'Violator'.

I think the same as that with runners - they are only on their feet for a short period of time compared with those walking much longer distances

Mind you, with the speed of my running, there is not much difference to my walking speed! Less than 8 minutes different in my 5k park run time!
