What I find most interesting is you eBikers claim that the motors only provide a small additional assistance but that your pedaling provides most of the power. Well if this is the case, bicycles are already equipped with sufficient gears to move forward with minimal pedaling. Catrike and similar human powered vehicles are available that provide extremely low gearing and circumvent any balance issues.

The argument that you find your motorized vehicles more fun and allow you to go fast to "keep up" with others at events where others are human-powered is what I find appalling. It's this kind of poser mentality that I find a huge negative to the cycling community.
