There is a group of young men who frequent the rough sandstone hills near here. These e-bike Mad Max looking characters wear body armor and full face helmets. I've been warned to avoid them when they are descending. They have long travel bikes with big motors.
To your other point, several older people I know have purchased e-road bikes. Two of them due to physical problems and others just because they don't feel like working so hard anymore. I am a candidate for a road e-bike because I can't keep up with my speedier friends. I never could, it just kicks my ass more than before.
