A lot of people make fun of me for having an ebike "it's not proper cycling etc", but they all want to ignore the fact that without it, I would be driving (as they are).

Yeah, it's pretty BS. No one would ever make fun of someone driving a car for not being 100% human powered.

I will say that the only time I get a little uptight about ebikes is when I come across them on trails/paths that are designated for non-motorized traffic only. Somehow people think that motorized only means combustion engines.
