You've single-handedly moved me from being a hater to being totally open to the notion--especially considering that I'll be living at the top of a long hill, and the grocery store is at the bottom. I'll still be hard core about human power, but you've got me thinking about how I might get the other shopper in my family to schlep multiple bags of grocery bags up the hill. Great post Adam!

I don't own one- all of my bikes are still the traditional human-powered setup- but I've ridden the Trek FX+ (same frame as the fitness hybrid, but it comes with a rack, battery and electric assist) and it is really easy to use, stable, and pretty fun to ride around town. You can also take the battery off and just ride it like a regular bike. I don't see a downside to the proliferation of these bikes- they have the potential to get more people out of cars and to offer a solution for many of the common objections to utility cycling. I can't wait to get my hands on the Trek Transport for a test ride. I’m a big fan of the electric bikes.
