There is a big difference between having no interest in one and advocating they be categorized in a manner that prohibits their use most places traditional bikes are used. I have no use or interest in one, but I certainly do not think they should be registered and one using them be licensed and them kept off rail trails and such.

I have no interest in one, but I certainly don't advocate they be treated as a street-only vehicle until they are operated by a throttle and are capable of speeds higher than a healthy fit cyclist can accomplish unassisted. There is little practical difference to anyone but the rider in the bikes we know of as ebikes and a fit solo cyclist to others around them.
