In those days you had a single block time commitment, and generally weren't covering 95 km.  I am gradually aging out of bicycles, but in the last decade a 90km ride was a four to five hour commitment that left me hot, sweaty and too tired to do anything else for a few hours.  If you are looking for transportation rather than exercise an ebike is a great option that can also add a bit of exercise.

Most people here wouldn't want to commute any decent distance on motorcycle,. because the weather isn't nice most of the time. Personally speaking, in the winter getting warm is a benefit of cycling and is why I wouldn't want an ebike.

you can use it as a normal bike, here the rules limit the electric aid to below 25km/h, so just pedal faster

Sure, but for pedaling, I just prefer normal bikes though, that don't weigh 30kg. ;D
