Any Electric Bike users here

Hi everyone
As I'm getting a bit older I was wondering if we have any users of the new e-bikes or electric bicycles. I'm getting a bit too old for "Old fashioned" type cycling but the idea of these modern bikes seems I could still get enjoyment out of cycling without having to "kill myself". You still get exercise but some help on hills etc wouldn't go amiss.

Any users --please post how you found them and whether they are actually worth it or just a "Gimmick".

Cheers
jimbo
