Do you need an e-bike for sub 35km rides?
Was thinking it would make riding through nasty terrain a piece of cake, so I could ride into town when there's heavy snow in my civvies without breaking a sweat.
I recall commuting in snow with an mtb here a few years ago, and my usual 30 minute commute suddenly took 1h 20m with lots of loss of traction and torque. An efatbike would certainly make things easier.

Also apparently -20C means battery performance of 60%. A significant reduction, but apparently the battery is good for 35km, and it's unlikely I'd want to be out on the bike doing those kind of miles at -20!
