The battery and the motor would be significant weight to carry when it comes to the mountains, not to mention this deadweight must be carried all the way from start to finish and only be used for maybe 60 seconds.

Bikes have a minimum weight of 6.8 kg in UCI competitions and the lightest bikes are at least a kilogram lighter than the minimum, so they have to add weight anyway.
