Also, flat cities might be flat, but it doesn't mean they're immune to strong winds.
Back when I was a daily bike commuter in chicago, there were certainly days when I'd be biking straight into a 25mph headwind and think to myself "ya know, I wouldn't mind a little electronic assistance right now".
But I've always been a bit of a bicycling purist. I really do appreciate the 100% human power aspect of a conventional bicycle, so I never did get an ebike.
But I'm certainly not above understanding their appeal, even in flat cities.
And I'm generally in support of anything that gets more people outta their damn cars and on a bike (conventional or e-assist).
