And a human-driven bike (recumbent or not) is infinitely more efficient than an electric one. That's the real comparison, because functionally this is a lot closer to a regular bike than to a car. The efficiency argument doesn't seem very compelling to anyone coming from either alternative. Better IMO to focus on ease of use for those who would use a regular bike except for physical limitations.
