On a parrel theme I have paddled various canoes and sea kayaks over the years. My preferred option now is an inflatable kayak.
The snobbery now is childish in the extreme.
Yes, sadly, so many people seem to latch on to a specific item or type and then defend it to the death, rubbishing the competition.

Why ?

As with bikes, it's possible to appreciate and enjoy all types of canoeing as well. I use a Canadian, a Sit on Top, a Folbot folder, and an inflatable.

Each has it's pros and cons, none are perfect, horses for courses.

Here's my "Advanced Elements" single seater inflatable, perfect for chucking in the car in its small bag, yet the 4 section spine keel makes it handle almost as good as a rigid kayak.

Such as Cycle Revival in Heathfield, who you will of course be familiar with. :)

Matt is quite happy to sell both off the shelf EAPC's or convert existing pedal cycles. http://www.cyclerevival.co.uk/bikes/electric/

I personally think that it is a refreshing and open minded attitude. If one shop doesn't offer the service, then the next one will, so why miss out. :)
