Will you ever go full e-bike?

If you ever get to a point where you can no longer ride a traditional bicycle, would you consider going full e-bike?

If not, why is this?
 
bring on the motor!
If I couldn't ride a regular bike, I'd jump right on in the e-Bike scene.

I want one now just to play with.

I could go drive around backroads moving turtles off the road by e-Bike LOL
 
I suppose that I’m a bit of a Luddite. I don’t even have electronic shifting on any of my bikes. And my favorite bike is a chromoly touring bike with cantilever brakes.

Having said that, when I’m too old for a two wheel bike, an electric Catrike might be the ticket.

I have e-shifting for the first time with my gravel bike. I like it but I forget about it a lot and the battery runs down. I figured I would do that, so I bought a spare and I keep it with me LOL.
