I sure hope not. Says a lot for the mentality of ebikers if that's what they want. There's no way to feel the slope, or a headwind, or the terrain with your body. All you're doing is spinning a generator. Ugh. No physical input to the wheels. If I was a pedicab driver, I'd want one. But as someone who likes the feel of riding, might as well hop on q mpred and throttle around.
