Ah ... 20 years for YOU. What if I am already 20 years older than you? Do I have to wait 20 years more for you to be ok with an e-bike to ride one too? That is exactly how some here are acting. And ... not wishing this on you, but ... what if 20 years arrives ahead of schedule. Like, I don't know, a few months from now, because of an injury or something? Does there have to be a condition on it always? What if there is a 13% climb that I need to climb, and that is why there is a motor hanging off the crank of MY bike?
