I don't think I've ever seen one ridden by someone over the age of 25. There are elderly people on road bikes but not on ebikes.
that sucks. i do not see that here - ever. ebikes are ridden very commonly by people of all ages. perhaps all the steep hills make more normal/lawful people ride them more often than otherwise.
