I’m a person living in a rural area and have to either go by train, the nearest station being 15 mins away by car and the trains having a schedule that keeps fluctuating.

Or have to go by car where it takes 60 mins to get where I need to go. I wouldn’t want to get a late pickup or anything outrageous just something to get me places.

I’m not a car enthusiast or anything like that.

    Yeah that’s a bummer. I’d say an ebike might still be a good idea. Even at 25km/hour you can still get places pretty fast, and if you are in a rural area where you have a lot of ground to cover its way more sustainable long term as a day to DAT option than regular cycling. Some days its just hard to go for a 20km bike ride just to get some veggies and bread, you know? Ebikes make that trip much more pleasant and less tiring.
