Thanks man.Cheers mate, and it looks like you're ready for a ton of fun!
I used to have a negative attitude about e-bikes, until I met a few people that had them. I thought they were basically electric motorcycles and didn't realize that most e-bikes just provided assist. I have recommended them to a few friends for their spouses so they could ride with us. Still freaks me out when someone 20+ years older than me (and I'm 53) fly by me going up some steep (18+%) Texas hill country climbs though. We don't have snow here, so no switchbacks, just straight up the hill.
Now that we are moving back to a place that has great weather, and most of the regular errands plus going to our friends houses, is with in a few miles, we are looking at buying a couple e-bikes to keep from driving our cars on short trips. We like to eat fresh food, so most of our grocery store trips would easily fit in panniers or a rack bag.
More people on bikes makes the world a better place than more people in cars! Still love fast cars for fun though. And still love racing unpowered bikes up hills too.
