It's cheating, but I'm going to buy one for my wife -- and then use it. Sorry, honey, got to take the eBike today. Damn - great minds really do think alike! Just took my wife for an e-bike test ride Friday. She liked it. I'm figuring she can motor-pace me some days. I'm feeling the temptation, but holding the line on getting one for me - for now. It's the rare transportational cyclist riding an eBike around here, but that may change over time. I have no qualms about drafting eBikes since most are too fast to be in the bike lanes anyway. Some are just lightweight motorcycles. It's like Kommuter Keirin for me -- except for this one woman I see a lot who has an eCargoBike that goes zero to thirty in like a second. I don't have the thighs or lungs for that, and she drops me off the lights. Yup, I've seen two or three on my commute (the slower ebikes, look like hub motors mostly). Hard to hold that wheel.
