I want more powerful ebikes to be allowed because there are a lot of roads here without bike lanes and I avoid them because I can't hit 35mph to keep up with traffic
I really want to design and build my own e-bike but too many other projects get in the way. An ideal ebike would have a reverse trike design, you'd sit low, but not too low (a lot of the trike designs you sit dangerously low to where cars can't see you). Having a digital drive so there is no chain and instead you are essentially just spinning a generator sounds very cool to me. Having a ton of power isn't that important to me since I have no interest in trying to explain to people that if the ebike is below 750 watts, then it technically is classified as a regular bike and can go anywhere a regular bike is allowed.

I want a lightweight folding ebike that doesn't have small tires

If someone could figure out a folding bike with full size tires that is also light weight, that would be a pretty neat trick.
I have a folding fatbike with 20x4 tires: It weighs 75 lbs.

Probably a tilting recumbent of some kind, that sounds wonderful!

Personally, I'd like a cargo bike with full suspension, ridiculous range, and transportability. The Tern GSD S00 LX looks pretty great.
