Ebikes are so insanely good for hauling groceries and city activities, even with a radius in the dozens of miles.
If you told me to bike up an 18% grade hill loaded down with 1-2 bags of heavy groceries, including stuff like milk, I would have told you I had to drive before I got my ebike, haha. I've put over 1,500 miles on my ebikes in under a year of ownership!
It is stupidly good at carrying stuff around. And it makes finding parking super easy, even at very popular areas such as beaches or pools.
I have a city ebike for errands, friends, and exploring, and a traditional mountain bike for downhill and singletrack. Both are so fun and really explore the breadth of what bikes can do.
