I have used ebikes with cast wheels, I do find there are advantages to the usage of cast wheels over spoked wheels.
The cast wheels application on ebikes may not suit performance type cycling, but would a performance oriented cyclist really want to have lightweight wheels on a ebike with weight penalty of motor & battery?
For people who just want reliable wheels, minimal maintenance; they offer good alternatives to spoked wheels.
With the extra weight penalty factor in ebikes (vs regular bicycles) in general, weight of cast wheels really is not significant when you consider the weight of motor and battery.
With extra power output & weight of ebikes (vs regular bicycles), stronger (cast) wheels are really more ideal than (cheap) spoked wheels.
