I see nothing ugly about that bike - it looks very elegant and most definitely "manly" rather than "boy's bike".I know you're joking, but you still have to pedal for the motor to work and, if it gets you enjoying a physical activity you'd otherwise avoid, it's great for fitness.
When Dad was in his mid-80s and still using his mountain bike, he expressed an interest in e-bikes, just for a bit of help on inclines. He asked me to test a few, so I did.
I've always ridden "manly" road bikes and hardtail mountain bikes, so I was really surprised when my favourite was this ugly European style step-through thing...

"Dutch Style" seems appropriate for the land with such a high proportion of population on bikes. Little call for mountain bikes in Holland.
