Good choice! You won't regret it!

When electric bikes are perfected, those with IC engines will become collector items.
100 amp circuit? My whole shop is serviced by 100 amps. Sounds like an awful lot.
showkey - "perfected" was a poor choice of words. I apologize. In my opinion, electric bike sales will skyrocket once they can run 500 mi at 70 mph on a single charge and can be recharged overnight from a 100 amp circuit.
... For me that can be difficult because I need to use my right leg to hold the bike up when stopping, my left hip not being what it should be. Coming to a stop when going straight is fine because then using only the front brake at the final stage is OK...
You'd need to install, depending on your local regulations, auxiliary or main left hand rear brake caliper. Very useful in slow maneuvering.
Here is a good example:

Hey 42, did you get it?
I had a 2016 DCT and nobody could tell mine was auto-shift until I told them. Even when I took the advanced rider class, the instructors were fascinated by my clutch-less wonder. I got a lot of compliments on my bike and plenty of "biker waves".
Unless the "naysayers" are paying for your bike, grow a pair and just don't discuss your bike with them. And how in the world could you possibly even consider the opinion of someone who doesn't even ride? They have NOTHING to add to the conversation. I've learned over the years that "the people close to you" are the ones that do you the most harm. Any self-made millionaire/billionaire will tell you that listening to friends and family will keep you broke and unhappy. Just ask Bill Gates or Warren Buffet.
