Two thoughts: 1.) Kids e-bikes aren't a flooded segment (yet). So while expensive, the bike would likely hold its resale value pretty well. 2.) 1000% down with kids e-bikes. Outside of trying to produce future XC riders (not really the Vital way , getting kids to the top more often, and hitting more descents surely builds your descending skills faster. I pedal all the time now, but grew up pushing my downhill bike up hills. I can only imagine how my core skills would have progressed if I was logging more actual ride time.
