Last fall, my chum's mother in law came along with us on one of our last road rides of the season. We all had our road bikes and she was on an e-assist hybrid. The only downside was that if we got really rockin' along in a tight pace line, we would pretty easily get past the eBike's max assist speed of 32km/h. This was not a problem as we are not a terribly aggressive group, so cruising a bit below max speed does not bother us. Plus, buddy's MIL is a super chill lady and is a real asset to the social flavour of our group. Also, when we turned around into a strong headwind, all us hardcore non-e-assist types tucked in behind mum for a sweet draft.
