I'll be turning 70 in 8 days and after a couple of years of putting it off finally purchased an e-bike this past May. Best decision I ever made! I've got arthritis all over my body and wanted to go something to get in better shape and perhaps lose a few pounds without punishing my joints. I started out slowly and have increased the length of my rides. I don't always use the electric assist, but sometimes when I'm heading up hills, into a stiff headwind, or just plain tired I'll use it. At first I had to get over the attitude that I wasn't getting any exercise if I used the assist, but then I realized that at this age there's no reason not to use it. My longest ride has been a bit over 14 miles with assist for about a mile of that ride. Hey I don't need to impress anyone and as long as it's fun and I enjoy riding I'm gonna keep on going. Even got my wife riding around the neighborhood, but she didn't want an e-bike. Best of luck to you!
