Switching from conventional bikes to e-bikes is not beneficial.

HarryS:
I am further north in Quebec Canada. I been cycling for several years now in the winter with a regular bike.
This year is my first with The Baron.
Here are a few pictures from last years winter in my city of Montreal:

All are when it is snowing, as you see we have extreme winters here.
I could have put pictures from when the roads were cleared but how is that difference than any other day other than the cold.

Personally last year I had lots of fun commuting 25 Km's to a work and anther 25 Km's back. Since September I have not used my car except for reasons I couldn't use The Baron.
And as Rich mentions below its all in the gear you wear. get the right combinations and you will be fine no mater what the weather is like outside.

Maybe you need Luna's Tanks track conversion kit. https://lunacycle.com/luna-m1-tank-tracks-conversion-kit/

Really? I drove by the Central Illinois repository for VW diesel cars recently. I can't even imagine how many thousands of vehicles are parked there, acres and acres of them just rusting away.

Some of the cars they will repair and some will probably go to the crusher. My TDI is a 2013. Volkswagen is buying it back. My new TDI is a 2015 and has already been repaired. I love it. It's a great car.

It's a shame about the cars that they haven't had time to deal with yet. I doubt if any of them are rusting at all. Most are two or three years old at the , and are in good condition . But the TDI is a great car.

I loved the throttle on my first ebike, the radrover. It helped with starting out at intersections when I needed to get up to speed quickly and also when my legs were fried and needed a couple of minutes to recover. Not having to ask the group to stop again for several minutes is definitely a plus not just for me but for the whole group of riders. Not everyone riding a ebike is just lazy or out of shape

The "throttles have no place on bicycle trails", comment is plain nonsense. In your mind that may be the case, but it isn't for others, like myself. I love having a throttle for the trail riding (easy trails) I do on my quasi mountain bike (Pedego Ridgerider).
