First 100 miles on my E-Bike
I don&#x27;t grok e-bikes. I like them and I&#x27;d like to get one but I just don&#x27;t know how I will manage the charging. I am livinig in a big city and have no garage and no wall socket in front of my street door. And 100% of all destinations I ride to don&#x27;t have wall sockets for charging neither.<p>So, I would need to carry every time the heavy battery upstairs (3 floors)? I am anyway always full-loaded with bags or whatever and don&#x27;t want to carry every-time this stupid battery as well.<p>Then, the really beautiful e-bikes have an integrated battery in the frame, a bit like the iPhones. How should this now work?? I carry the 17-20kg bike upstairs every time?<p>Ok, only if you have a house with a garage in some suburb you can ride those bikes but then you are usually so far way from the city center that you need a car again.<p>As a final note: These bikes are so much heavier (17kg and up) and I am wondering if it&#x27;s that much more effort to ride a light 10kg bike without any electrical motor.<p>So, I am really curious about the real use case of e-bikes.<p>Edit: Why the downvote?
