I'm thinking about buying a used one to mountain bike with for exercise. I would only use the motor if I get too tired to pedal back because I'm just breaking into mountain biking and I don't have the best stamina. Do you recommend this?
Answer
"Do you recommend this?"
No. Mountain bikes are fairly heavy on their own. Much heavier than a road bike due to the fact they usually have suspension parts & some have disc brakes. Now add on an electric motor & you've got one heavy mother. The charge in electric bikes is usually short. It always seems to run out of power in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then what? You are stuck pedaling this behemoth back home under your own power. Yep...that'll give you your exercise for the day!
Do you even plan to go off-road at all? If not, look into a quality road bike or performance hybrid or even a straight hybrid. A person usually tires out from cycling by riding around in a gear that is too high. Thus they are "pushing" on the pedals instead of "spinning" at a rate of 70 - 90 rpm. This is called cadence. By using gears that are easier to "spin" rather than "push" you will last much longer on the bike, build stamina, build your heart, tone leg muscles & reduce body fat with a proper diet.

Im looking for a bike that i can just ride to and from school and go around town on which would be best and whats the difference between these bikes?
Answer
Mountain bikes are designed for off road trails. Many people buy mountain bikes & ride them strictly on the streets - dumb. Road bikes are designed for strictly the streets, designed to go fast, but usually not very comfortable. Electric bikes are designed for people that need a little extra help getting uphill. Tandem bikes are a bicycle built for two. Fun, but takes some practice before the 2 riders get into sync.
A cruiser is different than a comfort bike. It usually has but one gear, sometimes 3. Often called beach cruisers because that's where they originated...on the boardwalk of beaches to ride on flat land - not needing any gears.
Comfort & Hybrid bikes are similar. The main difference being a comfort bike usually has the traditional 26" tires. Hybrids have taller & thinner 700C tires that roll easier & go a bit faster. Hybrid bikes have become very popular because they are versatile. You sit in a comfortable upright position, have many gears to handle hills, yet can go slightly off road on trails of packed earth or finely crushed gravel/stone. With a hybrid, you're basically getting a combination of a road bike, a mountain bike & a comfort bike. The best of all three. That's what I ride & recommend for most people looking for an all around good bike.
