There were quite a few people out and about.
I waited for the area to clear to take the pictures...
Electric bike. An older guy had a dog riding in the front basket.
The bike has full suspension (pretty basic) and a front hub motor (not typical). I'm guessing it's a "conversion" of a pretty basic (big box store) mountain bike into an electric bike (note that the wheels don't match and the bike has full gearing like a normal bike - front and rear derailleurs). The battery is the silver box in the rear rack.
This is not a bad way to go, especially if you already have a bike that doesn't get used much (with rim brakes) and if you can economically install a simple kit, then it's much cheaper than buying a new dedicated electric bike & now it may get more use...
