eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

I've been seriously considering getting a folding eBike for my commute, which involves a train ride and then a few miles to the office. Currently, I use a traditional folding bike, and while it's great for the train, those last few miles can feel like a real workout, especially if I'm carrying a backpack.

I'm wondering if anyone here has made the switch from a traditional folding bike to a folding eBike for similar urban/multi-modal commutes? Did you find the assist made a significant difference in your energy levels or arrival time, or did the added weight of the eBike motor/battery become a new portability challenge? Would love to hear your experiences and thoughts!
