I don't know about you guys but I find that the extremely high level of technology that is used in the Tour De France is hard to compete against in the electric bike world. It would be interesting to see where this all ends up because it seems to me that the electric bike world has just barely scratched the surface of what it can be. The main thing is that what is important to a bicyclist is not the same as what is important to an electric bike. We don't NEED to pedal to make speed, we can exploit things that the bike racer is often banned from doing. My SLA heavyweight monster can pull on a straightaway better top speeds that the best time trial rider did. (35 mph verses 40 mph)
But we are like cavemen in a world of high tech... (for now)
