I have ridden ebikes for around seven or eight years now,often cycling to work on my ebike for over 6 years,unless pointed out most people have never noticed my bike has a motor on it,even though they may have noticed i was going pretty quick up a hill,people just do not seem to see the big magic motor helping out.one workmate has bought a cyclotricity bike after asking my advice on a lower priced bike,he has had more people ask him about his electric bike in one month than i have had in several years,today i was in my car and realised why,as he came up the hill out of the bike sheds without pedalling it did look impressive it looked quick for a bike,and was easilly spotted as an electric bike,having ridden together i know my bike is a fair bit faster,but as i nearly always pedal along,people do not see the magic trick.
