E-Bikes are real easy and comfortable to ride. There's no middle bar so it's easy to get on and off. The battery kicks in automatically when you ride up a hill so you don't feel any extra physical exertion. I've had people who have never been on a bike before ride E-Bikes and they didn't have any trouble. As to riding around - there are dedicated bike lanes and paths so it is safe. Especially all the car drivers in Switzerland - they really watch out for cyclists and honor crosswalks etc. So in summary - Go and ride an E-Bike and check it out for your self.
