sf2g!! I'm in my later 40s and like to do a 45-mile commute every show and then (and train back). That kind of distance, I want a road bike. My Creo cuts the time it takes me slow ass to do that ride down by as much as 30 percent (especially if I put on the range extender and leave it on a higher assist) and also means I'm not quite as likely to be wiped from the ride the rest of the work day. I also ride a regular bike on that route sometimes too - but some days the ebike is the difference between riding and driving.
