Yea, I think we did this in my thread too, here in the touring sub-forum...E-bikes with a throttle, E-assisted bikes that you Have to pedal to get anywhere, or a Motorized bike is NOT the same animal... I am scratching my brain how to explain the difference... Walking unassisted, or walking with crutches, or a motorized wheelchair.. ? Or doing nothing and sitting in front of the TV all day because that is all you can do, if you choose not to utilize the other options, when you get to that stage... Your view and a few others here, seems to be, that nobody should ride with assistance.

I seem to be majorly failing, at both ends of the spectrum. Here, and even in the E-Bike sub forum...
