Not in my future only because I ride solo and don't have to keep up with anyone. I'm 72, bypass surgery, mild COPD etc. etc. but I commute and tour. I occasionally ditch my ego and push the damn bike up a hill. I think the main reason I wouldn't go electric is that a huge part of the experience for me is the under-my-own-power aspect - to look at the map and say, "Cool! I made it from Vancouver to Seattle on two legs, Gatorade, and Power Bars! Now for a cheap motel and a hot bath"! I think when I can't bike anymore I'll switch to hiking full time.
