Compared to a conventional bicycle, an eBike is faster and more sophisticated. The most obvious difference is that when riding a bicycle, you’re doing all the work yourself. An eBike gives you the option of doing that, but you can also choose to give yourself a break and let the eBike do all the work instead.
The two biggest other differences of electric bikes vs regular bikes are higher cost and a heavier weight. In comparison to conventional bicycles, e-bikes tend to be more expensive due to having electrical parts and high-end software. Consider the cost savings you’ll get in switching from gasoline to electric when considering buying an eBike. Cost savings are incredible.
In terms of a heavier weight, you can blame that on the electric motor and battery. This could be considered an inconvenience if you plan to lift your eBike on and off a rack, frequently, but it shouldn’t be a deterrent.
