Jacob, we miss you in LA!
Those naysaying the E-bike will argue that it defeats the purpose, "if you're gonna ride, well ride then dammit!"
Those in favor counterargue with, "anything that gets people out of their metal petro-boxes is a good thing."
Wherever you stand on the electric vs. human powered bike issue (must it be an either or?) must agree that this vehicle, from a purely aesthetic standpoint, is pretty slick.
I haven't done the full life cycle analysis (anyone?) but if it gets a few peeps outta their cars, I'm all for it.

I miss you too, Jake!
Well, I've read many of the comments on the Tree Hugger forum, and while there may be issues with battery disposal, etc. -- as someone with a somewhat disabling illness (Lupus), an electric assist can make the difference between riding a bike and not riding. So in my opinion, an e-bike can be a great addition to one's lifestyle.
