eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

I was just out on my eMTB this morning, tackling some local trails that used to absolutely destroy me on my old analog mountain bike. It got me thinking – for those of you who've made the switch or even just tried both, what's been your biggest "aha!" moment comparing an eBike to a traditional one? Did it open up new routes, make commuting a breeze, or just bring back the joy of cycling after an injury? I'm curious to hear your experiences, especially regarding longer rides or hilly terrain!
