I am an e-bike enthusiast. I got one about eight years ago and I love it. It is a Currie 300w with SLA batteries.
I bough a Schwinn for my wife with a 250w front hub motor and Li-poly batteries. Much lighter at 42 lbs. She is crazy about it.
We like having the ability of riding on the bike path, which we probably couldn't do with a gas engine. The range is adequate, but she is worried about riding it to work through traffic.
I have time to follow the technology now that I am retired. Lately, I have been tinkering with the idea of an add-on gas engine that could be removed when not required.
