My two cents on this as I consider myself a "cycling enthusiast"
The mainstream is too retarded to ride a bike properly:
- seat way too low so they can't unfold their full leg force
- pedal always placed in the middle of the food so the calf muscle can't help at all
- not using the gear shift and always start in the highest gear available
- driving with super fat, high profile and almost flat tires in the city
- generally using too small bikes
With an ebike you don't need to consider all this shit so it's a relief for most.
Makes sense when you have to crunch a big trip to work everyday or when you're a weak person but otherwise? Nah thanks.
I've noticed something interesting in the marketing of ebikes though. On a motocycle, they try to make the engine look as potent and massive as possible where on ebikes they're trying to hide it as much as they can. As if it's the dirty little secret of the owner.
Tells a lot on the psychology.
