Big thumbs up for all the advocacy and city planning aspects of this prospectus. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the future of E-Bikes technology wise is a smooth progression from what we have now. Rifle is fine. Mid-drive motor built into an Omafiets is fine. Why? All the other parts are the same. There are factories all over the world making bike stuff. This is that, with a motor in place of the bottom bracket. They're already comfortable and bombproof, and designed to get you somewhere in the clothes you plan to wear when you arrive. Feel free to use any combination of market, mixed market, and democratic-socialist methods to make this affordable, I'm open-minded.
