It depends on which sub-topic of the many being discussed in this thread he was referring to. Could be reference to OP's mention that the ebike riders were in the 20-30 yr old age group.. and follow-on mentions that they seemed to think it "fashionable", or that the industry stands to make some money on a trendy way to commute to work. who knows..
