The OP's rig is cooler than the other side of the pillow and would still be great where approaching vehicles send animals for cover.
One of the comments from the RCMP group we met with I got a chuckle out of.
He stated that if you were impaired riding a power assist bike they could not charge you as the bike does not meet the definition of a motor vehicle.
Do appreciate that the various parties we met with knew that the International Sales And Marketing Manager of the bike brand was present and that the opinions and information needed to be concise. One of the CO's was very impressed with the technology and was considering buying an ebike to hunt road closures. I will leave it at that.
