There is also the fact that it can be a fine line between doping and 3 week long/endurance sport nutrition. Ketones?
So we are NOT talking about that subject in this thread.
The original comment, 'current society about winning', was not intended as a doping implication.
Shortcuts to 'successful cycling speeds', without months/years of specific training might be a strong e-bike attraction (with a sleek CF frame) to otherwise athletic or outdoor people. Especially anyone who might be inclined to hang with fast cycling associates. (edit: know anyone like that?)
