> I don't get the appeal of e-bikes for the type of riding you do

Sweat. I do 2km twice a day for the school run in my unassisted mtb. On anything but a cold day, I work up a mild sweat. I wouldn't want to arrive at work in the state I get back in on a warm day.

Many commuters don't want to get "proper exercise" on the way to work. Hard enough getting secure bike storage, let alone a shower.
