As a matter of fact, electrical bikes are increasingly popular here in the Netherlands already. If I google 'e-bike' there's loads of choice. It became popular with older people first, but now it's trickling down to regular city bikes.

My parents got two of 'em for their 5 mile commute and for weekend bike rides. I quite like them too, it is really easy to speed to your destination without breaking a sweat. Downside: the system is from Bosch so I'll keep the fire extinguisher nearby.
