I feel like some need for the electric part depends on how in-shape you are as well as your trip conditions. I started getting in-shape enough to think about it, then my local trail closed and now I am probably back to where I was. My bike is also only 250w so it isn't much of an ebike.

Well that, and I'd want a similar size (or smaller) bike, such as a minivelo. Not really a thing where I'm at and seems to be a cost premium. Unless maybe I could get one used somehow. Though I'm also not in a city, so it probably makes less sense than for other people.
