    Regarding your use of the term m-bike as opposed to e-bike, I have taken to referring to them as POP-bikes, as in Pedal Only Power. I feel this exactly sums up their status.

    Love your show which I receive by podcast.

    On Twitter, the consensus was to call them just “bikes”. Of course, that’s now, but when/if more e-bikes get made than “POP bikes” then another term might become, er, POPular.
