eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

I've been seriously considering a cargo eBike lately, specifically for grocery runs and hauling my kids around town. For those of you who've made the switch from a traditional cargo bike (or even just a regular bike with a trailer) to an electric cargo model, what's been your biggest takeaway? I'm wondering if the assist really makes that much of a difference on hills with a heavy load, or if a strong traditional cyclist could manage just fine. Would love to hear your experiences, especially if you're tackling varied terrain!
