Yeah, I live in a hilly area where often the electric bike range, (32km, 20 miles), just isn't enough. Wonderful for shopping - where I used to walk into town and get a taxi home with the shopping, once a fortnight, now I can zip in any time for small loads and get my main fortnightly stuff delivered, all for much less than the previous taxi fare for one trip.
To the doctor and back used to be a $24 taxi round trip or 1¼ hour walk each way, now it's ??? cents and 20 minutes each way.
For the longer trips, the 2-stroke is a necessity. Public transport in Nowra is almost non-existent. And when no-ones looking, I can wind it out to 50 kph.
Since I've had these bikes, about 3 months, I've clocked up about 750km. Guess how far I would have got walking?
(Secretly, I sort of look forward to the court discussion in a way, but I'll still end up with a fine, of course.)

Maybe getting caught will bring this STUPIDITY to a head ?
You Sir have guts .
