The legal eBike limit (in many places) of 750watts is closer to wattage of a professional cyclist. Real human power is not required accept to move the pedals around to trigger the assist-motor.

100%-human-powered bicycle touring is what is forum has always been about. Sorry you don't understand that and have to resort to mockery.

Sometimes people just want to believe what they believe, for it is THEIR belief. No matter what you say or how abruptly you put it, there are just some times when you can't change people's minds. And it's their right not to have to bend to what YOU say is "correct".

Can you just let it go?

Respect that other people see it other ways?

Please?
