You must be refering to
these folks:
"There is a large segment of American society that likes the side benefits of exercise like a change of scenery and sunshine but do not want the exertion that goes with it.
I see e-bikes filling that need. There are a few exceptions like injured athletes that need an assist during recovery."
On our So Cal MUPs it seems like 1/2 the bikes are of the ebike variety, most being ridden to have fun, not fittness.
