It reminds me of the historical discussion of whether to call them ATB's, MTB's, or mountain bikes. Mountain bikes was settled upon a good many decades ago and to call them anything different now seems disingenuous. I don't hate e-bikes (at least not for other people), but I think the term "mountain bikes" has been in use for so long now that we should stick with it and just call e-bikes, well, e-bikes. Or EMTB's, or EATB's. I kind of like the term "Eeebs", but that sounds like a sugary little children's candy.
