Don't know about most of the replying crowd here, but when I hit the trails I see a lot of gray beards. I'm 66 and exclusively ride what my Quebecois neighbors to the north call a muscular bike, but the writing's on the wall and I'm spending a lot of time looking for that perfect light assist eMtb. I suspect a lot of the commentariat hasn't yet applied for medicare, but you will and having a bike that will allow you to double your time in the saddle is a good thing and obviously the bike co's are correctly positioning their product for their aging market. eMtb's also level the playing field for mismatched riders and, in my experience as a trail ambassador for a very well known system, bring a lot of former non-riders such as spouses or parents into the sport. I'll still ride my Spur every other day, but I'm psyched about riding the gap days on a bike that doesn't leave me feeling trashed after the first few climbs.
