The geometry will be a compromise, frame stresses will be different, bikes will need to be overbuilt... The only thing that makes sense is if it also fits internal drivetrains, and that's only if those become more popular. That's also assuming e-bikes become generally accepted as mountain bikes, which I doubt will happen.</p></blockquote><p></p>
