Better than e-bike...

A quiet evening, riding at ease around 40km/h. Heartrate 115bpm. While the wheels spin, I wonder such things like; why are e-bikes so popular? With a 40km/h e-bike one is restricted by regulations, when the battery is empty the fun stops and in autumn when the wind blows and rain falls it is just as uncomfortable as any regular bicycle although a 40km/h e-bike costs a lot of money. And then winter comes, the e-bike stays in the shed because it's so cold slippery and the batteries go flat before you reach the office. The result: the batteries usually die in 4 months of total neglect so grmbl*@#4 a new one has to be bought in spring. Really, I prefer my velomobile any time.
