eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

Been thinking a lot lately about the eBike vs. traditional bike debate, especially as I see more and more eBikes on the trails. I've been a traditional road cyclist for years, covering 30-50 mile rides regularly, but the idea of an eMTB for those steep, gnarly climbs has really piqued my interest.

For those of you who've made the switch or own both, what's your take? Do you find yourself reaching for one over the other for specific types of rides or distances? I'm curious if an eBike truly replaces a traditional one for you, or if they serve entirely different purposes in your cycling life.
