e-bikes are getting CHEAAAAAAP too! I just read a review for an Aventon 500 this morning. Basically $1400 for a 500W class 3 e-bike. Can't go over 20 without pedaling, 30 mile range.
I guess one concern would be that people who buy e-bikes as a first pedal powered mode of transport haven't developed the bike handling skills that they would have by the time they could get a human powered bike up to 30 mph. And there will be shenanigans, but I like 'em. More people on bikes is better for all of us.
