Recently visited my brother a few counties over, and next door to the place we had breakfast was an e-bike shop. There were e-bikes everywhere, at least 5 coming out of the shop riding away, when we walked in the breakfast house, and then the same scene, 5 or more riding around and away when we left. It was my first look at this odd (to me) genre of biking. Maybe it's just that area, but it looks like folks are on board.

I do understand the appeal for the elderly and other folks who don't have the ability to ride otherwise - and I'm glad they have that option.

Personally I won't be getting on board however.
