To the OP:
Just building my bikes, but the goal is to add 5mph to the top speed of both. This means that the mountain bike can cruise at 20mph (which is the cruising speed of my road bike), and the road bike should be able to do 25mph. Also, I have a choice of how much to sweat: Can go easy and fast in the morning and arrive without too much sweat, then sweat and ride faster on the way home. Plus, it is just fun! ;-)

So, I'm curious, what do you find attractive about an E-bike versus a fully human powered bicycle?
