The only factor that keeps me from buying a electric street bike is the number of texting drivers on the roads. Simply not worth the risks.
I am very tempted at the electric assist mtn bikes. 3-4" fat tires with electric power assist for up hill speeds.

This is a risk on any type of street bike, is it not?

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
