A couple of the personal reviews I've read on riding these light, low-powered e-road bikes is they do most of their riding in eco mode, which cancels out the extra weight of the motor and battery.
It seems that riding in eco mode still gives these riders a really decent riding range (70+ km).
On one of the e-bike forums I've come across recently someone asked if they should get a light, low powered road bike, or a heavier road bike with a bigger motor/battery. Someone else replied that if you ride by yourself often get the heavier bike with the bigger motor. On the other hand, if you participate in group rides go for the lighter bike with the smaller motor/battery.
I thought that made a lot of sense.
