This is kind of scary. We should be having a rousing debate over whether the light low watt bike is more useful than the heavier more powerful one? Or which is better, range or speed? Questions about how to make this more fun.
Not a debate as to whether they should exist or how to restrict them.
One interesting subtlety I've noticed, people who actually have ridden them tend to like them and support their use. That has piqued my interest for sure.
Of course the other (not so fun direction) is to complain/gasp at the price. I guess I'll rent.

Eric, I fully expect you to be building your own!
