eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

I've been mulling over something and wanted to get your thoughts, especially for those of you who own both an eBike and a traditional pedal bike. I'm trying to figure out if I should keep both my trusty old road bike and my new eMTB, or if the eBike essentially makes the traditional one redundant for most of my riding.

Specifically, I'm thinking about the maintenance side of things. Are you finding that your traditional bike is collecting dust, or do you still find yourself reaching for it for certain types of rides (e.g., shorter commutes, specific training, or when you want to avoid extra eBike tech troubleshooting)? I'm wondering if the added complexity and potential troubleshooting of an eBike (battery, motor, display issues) makes a simpler, traditional bike a good backup to have, or if it's just extra gear to maintain.

What's your experience been like, and how do you decide which one to ride?
