Seeing that this has been appropriately moved to ebikes, I wouldn't be responding if you hadn't poked me with a quote. As a matter of etiquette, non-ebike cyclists don't usually post here. Having said all that, I'll tell you that the vast majority of cyclists, while having no animosity to ebikes, feel that they are hardly more relevant to cycling than a moped or scooter. Obviously they are becoming popular among folks who have difficulty riding actual bikes. That's fine, nice to be out in the fresh air. Just don't tell us how many miles you've ridden or the elevation you've climbed.
So that's why there is an ebike section and you are free to enjoy it, normally w/o feedback from those of us who prefer the other way.
