Ebiking is not the same sport as XCO mountain biking in the same way that judo isn't karate, F1 isn't rallying and Nordic skiing isn't ski jumping. Even tow-in surfing isn't the same as normal drop in surfing but it does allow you to take the big waves. And if surfers can understand that at Tea'hupoo or Jaws then why not ebikers at the local bike park? (Except surfers have now gone back to trying drop ins into the big stuff because they want a challenge, it seems) But they all provide fun for their participants and are all perfectly valid recreational pursuits.
