Where does it say this?because they enabled less able, less fit, or more elderly people to complete journeys safely at a speed similar to 'normal' cyclists

A tip, slow down a bit. When I used to walk to work I did exactly that. I didn't don trainers & running gear, I walked at a sensible pace so I didn't get hot & sweaty. When I changed jobs and cycled in, the same principle applied, abeit with a couple of concessions to practicality. It's a commute, not a workout.I want to be able to get to work without arriving there hot, sweaty and in need of a change of clothes and a shower.
Sorry but that is really confusing, initially you say that the battery assist wasn't enough so had to put in a lot of effort, then you say you'd be happy at 4mph to me they seem in conflict with each other.
Where does it say this?
Ah he'll also be one of those who believe that any 'normal' rider is a cheat then, I assumeHe does say it’s his assumption.

Maybe English isn't your first language, or maybe you should proof read what you put!'He' is here you know? But I have to ask, what the fook are you talking about now?

Why should an e-bike be any faster than this?
I'll add the whole paragraph then so you can try to a little harder to understand the point he was makingOr maybe you should read more carefully.
I don't think any of the rest of us had any difficulty in understanding what he wrote. I disagreed with him, but that wasn't due to the way he wrote it
His assumption is that e-bikes were for the less fit, or more elderly people, he specifically mentions these type of people therefore the inference is the 'normal' cyclist shouldn't be riding them, it's all part of his passive aggressive nature, very much like your own, neither of you like being challenged on your opinions.I may be misinformed or mistaken, but I always assumed that e-bikes had been allowed to be used under the same rules as a standard person powered bicycle because they enabled less able, less fit, or more elderly people to complete journeys safely at a speed similar to 'normal' cyclists so not really posing any greater risk to the public?
Why shouldn't it, if safe and legal?
