For example, the other day I was taking a leisurely ride down the bike/walking path next to our local creek, which ends up at a huge reserve called Ruffey Lake Park.
Ruffey Lake Park is extremely hilly, and has a winding path through it, with a lake, trees of all types, foot-bridges and wide open grassy areas.
Previously, I'd probably never have even considered cycling through this park at all, simply due to the hills, but on this day, I made my way painlessly up the steep path at a fast clip, aided by the Bosch mid-drive motor, with its barely audible whine drowned out by the sounds of the wind in the trees and the bird cries.
All of a sudden, it occurred to me that I didn't have to stick to the path at all. Now, as a cyclist, you would probably never think of cutting across a steep hill, covered in quite thick grass and probably a few potholes, when there's a perfectly serviceable paved path to ride on - right? But with the help of the motor, the big 29" wheels and the suspension, that terrain is reduced to a perfectly manageable stretch of soft, green, riding space. You need nothing more than a moderate amount of effort and some deft gear shifting to navigate it.
Suddenly, your options have increased from one, to unlimited. If you want to get from A to B, and there's a shorter or more interesting path than the paved path, you can now take it with impunity. That dirt track that branches off up through the trees and disappears into the bush? Follow it and find out where it takes you. That steep descent (that you'll have to ride back up) down into the unknown? Go take a look, secure in the knowledge that no matter how difficult the return journey is, your ebike will turn it into a fun and rewarding experience while you stay put in the saddle. It's like having your big brother running beside you, always ready to grab the seat and give you push to help you out of a difficult situation.
Don't worry about having to clip yourself in and out of the pedals, no need to wear special cycling shoes or even use toe-clips. Just slip on your favourite pair of runners and off you go.
If I could get hold of a more powerful motor, with no speed restrictions, better battery life, full suspension frame and all terrain tyres - the world would be my oyster! And this is only a bike - imagine in the future what could be achieved with other types of power augmented equipment. A suit like Iron Man? Being able to climb trees like an Orang Utan? 10 metre jumps? The mind boggles. Bring on the future.
