I do see a surge in e-bikes though. Only for the reason is that not everyone is fit enough to ride at moderate pace or long distance.

My wife and I sometimes ride together. I can ride anywhere from 50-100 miles. She's not as passionate about biking as I am and can't ride at the speed and distance I do...we both tried an e-bike a couple of weeks ago. She said she would like one so she can keep up with my pace and distance.

I would consider one for commuting to work to save me from becoming a sweatball by the time I reach the office.

E-bikes are just robbing Peter to Pay Paul though...Lot's of fossil fuels become dedicated to gathering materials to make the batteries, manufacturing the batteries and transporting the batteries. Not sure that the use of fossil fuels is reduced in the end. It's just shifted to the front end.
