Wade said it best, "it's like having a chairlift in your garage".
Anyone who has taken a Dh bike up a shuttle or chairlift is the prime demographic for these. You get over the weight pretty quick... usually by the 4th lap!
In Wa state, most of our trails are on DNR lands. The DNR did a survey and found that the only user group that had any significant concerns about eBikes was.... other mountain bikers. All other user groups did not discern between class-1 eBikes and regular old mountain bikes.
IMO, it's just another option. Horses for courses!
