For them the assistance an e-bike gives them is the difference between cycling with their life long friends or not, it has simply extended their cycling life with their mates.
When I reach that point in my life; then I will definitely want one.

Wide variation depending on the age of the bike (more recent ones have made a lot of improvements overall) and the size of the battery.
One of our lady members has a top of the range road bike and with a mixture of assisted and non assisted pedalling has done just over 100 miles. Not sure of the split between these.
A member with a much older model reckons his maximum is 25 miles - all motor assisted.
You're "cheating"
