It's all relative I guess. I have no desire to put batteries or motors on my bike and I'm not really impressed by turning a bike into a moped to do more down laps. I don't get any satisfaction from ebike climbing; turns out a good deal of my ride pleasure comes from climbing under my own power.
I'm also stridently anti the internet of things and our current societal obsession with putting batteries and motors and lights into ever single household object.
I'd be impressed by an ebike that weighed less than 40lbs that could get me from east van, up and down two mountains and home again on a single charge, to truly free me from my car.
