On the other hand, I think E-bikes are the future of commuter vehicules, especially velomobiles for those who want protection from the elements. Right now though, they aren't well-known, some look like pieces thrown together, and are associated with old people. In other words, they're "not cool".
I see your info and also having lived in Canada myself (BC/AB) I realize the merits of an enclosure. But regarding your comment on degrading health from the use of pedal assist, what if the system didn't work unless you were actually pedalling? The effort would be less but the effort would still exist.

Thanks all!
