The pedal assist type of bike has been life-changing for my husband. He used to be a huge cyclist but then medical issues interfered. He hadn’t been able to bike for over a year until he bought an e-bike. It has given him incredible freedom that he had lost.
To the OP, it might have already been mentioned, but make sure you have the standard safety equipment (lights, bell), repair kit (mostly for flats) and water bottle mount. And if you ride trails, make sure the bike is allowed.
