I've encountered a few commuters on pedal-assist e-bikes on the MUP and nearby roads. (I assume they're commuters due to the time of day and type of stuff they're packing.)

If an e-bike can increase the average speed from 10-12 MPH (that's what I see a lot of) to ~20 MPH, that can make a daunting 10 or 15 mile commute doable, and a 5 mile commute downright easy. More bike commuters is, IMO, a good thing!
