Note that if you go over the "barrier" it opens up a can of worms legal-wise from what I've been reading. Be careful taking it on to non-private land.
I got my bike this afternoon. It looks like this one:

).
I did a 21.7k first ride (about 1hr) and it was great with a lot of capacity left in the battery (using max assist too). The hills were tackled quite handily and our local bike lanes and bike path are pretty good. I was thinking it would take me a while to work up to commuting (approx 20k each way), but I think once I get some extra gear I'll be jumping straight to it.
So, Brent, once again I say, I think you're in the right market. As they become more popular, the volume will help drive down the costs, etc so even more people will get them. And, of course, the tech will improve too especially with the batteries. They're great enablers.
