eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

I was just out on my eMTB this weekend, tackling some pretty steep trails I usually struggle with on my old analog hardtail. It got me thinking about the whole eBike vs. traditional bike debate, especially when it comes to covering more ground or conquering those brutal climbs. For me, the eBike has opened up so many new routes and extended my rides significantly, but I still love the pure simplicity of my traditional bike for shorter, flatter spins.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you find yourself reaching for one over the other for specific types of rides or terrains, or have you fully converted? I'm curious to hear how others balance the two!
