Someone mentioned a bike this heavy wouldn't be fun without a motor, and yeah, sometimes, but I went through a stretch of mud yesterday, and was darn happy I had fat tires and a motor.
For those who call it cheating: We are all different, have different abilities, and like different things. It doesn't mean you're not a driver because your car is different than mine. So if I am pedaling a 2 wheeled thingy, then I am a bicyclist.
I ask if they drive a car. When they say yes, I tell them I bike every where with my e-bike, and don't own a car, so I'm getting more exercise than they are since they get zero when they drive. And I'm not polluting.
