Too bad this is a sales pitch. I saw a guy this weekend on the MUP with a converted e-bike, first I'd ever seen here. It looked to me like about a 250 watt motor, with a small and unobtrusive battery. It was and is a bit intriguing.

I am a little curious though, what the attraction is for the e-bikes over a kit you can install on a suitable bike. Slower, more expensive, heavier, uglier - what's the upside?
