I had one of those; same year and model too. It was my first street bike. Up till then I had dirt bikes. The last one was street legal.
I could see having and using one of these e-bikes for certain people and situations like inner city or suburbia where no more than 5 or 6 miles away was the destination and then the bike could be made very secure like chaining it to a guard station or something.

It’d be a great toy but I wouldn’t ride it to the beach (4 hr trip).
