eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

Been thinking a lot lately about fat tire bikes, specifically the eBike vs. traditional comparison. I've got a traditional fat tire bike that I absolutely love for snow and sandy trails – it just eats up anything! But I've been eyeing some of the fat tire eBikes, wondering if that extra boost would open up even more possibilities, especially for longer rides or steeper climbs in challenging terrain.

For those of you who've ridden both a traditional fat tire and a fat tire eBike, what are your thoughts? Do you find the e-assist fundamentally changes the experience, or is it just a nice-to-have? I'm curious if the added weight of an e-fat bike is noticeable when the assist is off, or if the benefits totally outweigh any drawbacks.
