As an ebike owner, that's why I'm here. Health probs mean I can only bike thanks to the battery assist!
Why the negativity towards this great invention?
I worked in a bike shop in Australia, and every once in a while, someone would come in asking about electric bikes. We kindly explained to them that taking a 15kg bike and adding another 15kg (or more) in battery, motor, and drive mechanism left you with a bike that was impossible to pedal uphill, and quite a bit of work on the flats.
While I can appreciate that fact that battery assist lets you enjoy cycling, I'm not sure that there is enough interest to create another forum.
