My nerve disability is so bad that kids were passing me on the sidewalk. I could no longer exercise hard enough on my manual bike to get any real cardiovascular benefits. My right leg is too weak to pedal hard without the assist.
We get it, you require assistance. No problem.
What I do have a problem with is motor-bikes on bicycle-infrastructure, of which there is very little on this planet. The entire world is full of roads built to accommodate motorized vehicles. Please ride there and go as fast as you like!
As far as this particular bicycle-touring-sub-forum...The inclusion and discussion of motor-bikes, power-cells and their charging systems should never be allowed because this is a human-powered-bicycle-touring forum. There are plenty of other sites that enjoy that type of discussion.
