"
I think one of the issues with the e-bikes is that people hate to be sweating up a storm and see an e-bike blow past them."
Most people dislike the behaviour of the person riding the e-bike, not the e-bike itself. There is general lack of bicycle ettiquette and ignorance of rules amongst these folks.
In fact there is a petition started to get them banned in these parts.
