    There's lots of ebikes on the trails where I ride. Last summer, I had
    the pleasure of seeing an ebiker wheeling his heavy, 16 inch fat tired
    piece of sh*t. He tried to flag me down. I waved back as I passed him.

    Not convinced that it’s a good idea, as motors absolutely do fail, particularly in wet environments, and with full fat E MTB doesn’t seem to bother folks with the slightest that it’s a bit chunky.

    Maybe on the road/Gravel side or some of the lighter E MTB, but even so not particularly convincing.

    As Yoshi Shimano famously said at this point in a similar
    conversation long ago, "It's for selling."
