Went to the Spezi 2009 special bike show in Germany. Tried out quite a few electric bicycles for a few hours. Good experience, saved me a wad of money since I wasn't really impressed by most of them. Decided to wait a few years untill the technology improves and my body does the opposite. Bikes that stood out head and shoulders above the rest were the Swiss flyer and some bionx powered bike, the bionx just shaded it on build quality and ride. The heinzmanns were dull and noisey and the pro connects disapointing. Perhaps they were bad examples. A shaft driven german bike rode better than I thought. This was my first experience of riding electric bicycles.
