The latter is one reason a lot of people do not use cycles for longer distance commutes, especially given that the weather in most parts of the country can get hot. Electric bicycles enable faster commutes, owing to the extra push one gets from the motor, additionally one does not sweat as much because of the said extra pedal power.
