Fair point on the smaller riders. I can see that group gong either way, some will want the better handling/weight/ability to pick up and put on the bike rack easier of the Ex-E style , and others will be pissed it won't keep up to the group with full power bikes.
I think if this style of bikes is going to run up against any issues (setting aside the possibilities of an economic recession), it's going to be market penetration. In our shop, Ebikes didn't move until people in middle class and up neighbourhoods started talking to each other about them. May take a little bit to take off.
