eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

Been thinking a lot lately about the eBike vs. traditional bike debate, especially as I'm eyeing a new ride for my daily commute (about 10 miles each way, mixed city streets and a few hills). I currently ride a regular hybrid, but those hills can be a real grind some mornings!

For those of you who've made the switch or even ride both, what's your take on the overall cost-benefit? Beyond just the initial purchase price, are there significant differences in maintenance, longevity, or even just the pure enjoyment factor that you've noticed? Curious to hear some real-world experiences!
