Interesting data point:

I watched a gal on an e-bike come in off a club ride last Saturday. She took three turns on the pedal to move away from the stop sign and then, without turning the cranks any more, crossed the street, turned into the parking lot, rolled all the way across the parking lot and up to the front of the LBS. Gently uphill.

Apparently, the local bicycle club allows mopeds on their rides now.
