Is the London fixie dead?

Edwardz the electric bike trend in NL is

The leader right now of the trend is Germany.. followed by NL..

quite new, when I was a teenager (too long ago) you wouldn't want to be seen dead on one, they were specifically for geriatrics.

But they seem to have become popular among commuters that don't want to arrive tired/sweaty (might not have showers at work)
I do the opposite. I tend to ride very clunky ill-fitting bicycles for commuting to max. the effort. Its like running with heavy weights.

I really cannot see myself on one though, unless my health is so bad I can't ride a normal cycle anymore.

I tried a few at a bicycle trade faire-- since I got a free invite from one of the e-bike advocacy orgs I felt obligated to have a look. I found that I could travel much faster without the motor than with as it quickly hit max. speed and even without the assist I would just pedal empty-- I even tried a model with the biggest motor they had. Its clearly not for me but its about the only area within e-mobility that seems to be catching on--- the Renault Twizy e-car is pretty interesting but since its classified as a motorcar its got the same parking problems. There are even people starting to talk about pedelec racing.
