For me a good reason for an E bike would be for someone who still wanted to ride a bicycle but couldn't really keep up with their bicycle riding friends.

That one from the hardcore cycles link is way heavier than anything I would want. If you get something as heavy as a dirt bike it would just be cheaper to get a dirt bike and about as useful since you will have to use mostly motor power anyway to power it.

Personally ,I will ride my mountain bike until I am too old and it will be a long time from now. I'm nearly 52 and can go most anywhere on my regular MTB and I'm glad I put in the time to be able to.
