Harry,
Please keep us informed of your ongoing experience with your new bike. I don't own an electric bike, but I've test-ridden several, and have been impressed.
The main thing that puts me off is the weight: about twice as much as my standard town bike. Maybe that's not a problem during normal use, but I'd be worried about hauling it up steps, over gates, etc.
You mention that an electic bike is free of tax and insurance. True, but, to be fair, so are ordinary bikes (at least, here in the UK).
