> I still ride mechanical myself

Is that a term now? It is no longer that the norm a bicycle, and you have to specify if it's uses electricity. Now you specify that you ride "mechanical"?

The world is changing or the e-bike sellers are doing some great marketing.

I was referring to my derailleurs being traditional cable-pull mechanical instead of electronic, not e-bikes.

I think human-powered bikes are still the assumed norm, but the surging popularity of e-bikes may start challenging that soon, especially for practical purposes as opposed to recreational purposes.
