I've been riding my eBike exclusively since October, mud/ice/pot holes means my sub 8kg road bike isn't going to see the roads for another month at least.
I'm actually loving my eBike winter experience. On commuter days I let the bike do the work, but when I feel like smashing it, the bike is very quick.
Thanks to my eBike am riding more than ever, this is the power numbers from unassisted sections on a ride yesterday....so am around 3watts/kg, not bad considering I don't do any kind of exercise apart from riding the eBike

My eBike means am riding further, longer and harder than I ever did on my road bike in winter. Yesterday I ended up having a fuel stop next to this, my road bike wouldn't have got 1 meter past the gate leading to the track, and a non assisted hybrid bike would have been painful to ride over 10 miles of rolling countryside I had to cover to get to the track.
The answer I think is easy, its not bike vs eBike, its get both......The real question is if you have both what is next bike to get??
I flip between getting a new eBike or normal bike almost daily, need to decide at somepoint though, might just flip a coin
