While I'm not really considering getting one, I find E-bikes and velomobiles very interesting, and read up on them often.
The issue of hostility from traditional cyclists is brought up more often than not, and any mention of them on BF quickly draws many disparaging comments.
One time I caught grief for riding an E-bike on a MUT where its perfectly legal to do so.........and I wasn't even riding an E-bike........the roadies in question knew nothing about Dutch bikes, and thought my Gazelles dynohub with rollerbrake was a motor.
