Yesterday riding from Middlebury to Shipshewana and back, we passed four or five Amish seniors on three-wheelers, and none of them were pedaling, i.e., all were on electric assist bikes. All were going around 10 mph, so speed wasn't an issue. We saw numerous other bikers on electric bikes, and I began to wonder what percentage of riders were using electric? I guessed 25-30 percent. When we got to the DQ, we ran into Danny Jones from Lincoln Ave. Cycling, and I mentioned the large number of electric bikes we'd seen, and he said that 30 percent of his sales last year were electric bikes.
