Those people aren't going to be riding an e-bike, and if they are they won't be riding one with flat handlebars.

At least one does, but yeah I’m not sure how much that audience intersects.

I’ve also seen fancy specialized brand bikes with internal motors that give out an extra 250w of power. I suspected they were for older people that want to keep up on rides.

Main thing I was pointing out was that carbon bikes aren’t just for super athletes, they’re common where I live.
