The biggest single thing against ebikes is the extra weight, it makes them a bit harder to control and inconvenient in general use - A-frames, a stile or a few steps are harder to negotiate than on a push bike.
However, that weight is less of a problem on downhill type mountain bikes which tend to be heavy lumps anyway.
I suspect that's one of the reasons why downhill full sussers - and eMTBs in general - are selling well.

Your not wrong in the heavy sense..
I doubt I could get one of them on a roof rack..
There are as many down sides as up..compromise etc..For a person with poor fitness there brilliant.
They don't feel heavy when on the move mind and I did ride faster through a favorite muddy twisty part I ride regular..so pain will be a factor when hitting a tree when I'd normally be going a bit slower under my own power alone...
