What's the point? Isn't a moped or scooter the same thing? Seems kinda silly to me...

Besides anything else (which I totally agree with all of it)....
the geometry of modern bicycles is set up for rear-wheel drive, and this just seems dangerous.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

In theory I'm not against it. But I had to read this sentence a few times:
"But, if your workplace is within 5 miles, you may want to consider using a gas-powered bicycle."
Shouldn't it be the opposite: "if your workplace is more than 5 miles away, then you may want to consider using a gas-powered bicycle."? *sigh*
And what was wrong with the previous electric bicycles?
Pedaling this when the engine is not on must be pretty tough/heavy...

I have a huge issue with the line about your workplace being within 5 miles---if you're that close, pedal to work.

I live within 2 miles of my job and I almost always drive. I have to transport clients quite often and the idea of pumping them to their appointments just doesn't appeal to me

Oh I really want a revo wheel. sometimes pedalling just seems like too much. I also cannot pedal 20mph anyways.
