Well in some way it is. You can adjust how much it assist you so that you don't have to pedal so much to get the bike moving, but there are also models that go 30mph and you don't have to pedal at all.

Would e-bikers be more inclined to actually obey stop signs, since keeping momentum isn’t as crucial an issue?

Well, they definitely work but my nose looked flared out for like an hour after taking it off. Not sure it's gonna be an every night thing.

Oh weird, that’s never happened to me. I use the sensitive skin ones though, maybe not as hardcore and you could try.

Have either of you tried nose cones, e.g. AirMax or Max-Air? They say they're even better than strips:

Conclusion: Although both the Max-Air Nose Cones and the Breathe Right nasal strips increased PNIF from baseline, the Max-Air Nose Cones showed significantly greater efficacy at stenting the anterior nasal airway, providing twice the improvement in PNIF over baseline than did the Breathe Right nasal the strips.

while the strip works well for me, i've noticed it irritating the skin on my nose a bit. so purely from a vanity standpoint, going to give the cones a go tonight.

Saw this but forgot to answer. Which did you get and how has it been? I use Breathe Right at the moment but they're somewhat expensive on this part of the globe so I'd rather use something else. The problem is that I haven't found another nasal strip brand which would have the "spring" which to me is essential. I did try AirMax but somehow that irritated my sinuses.

I’ve been contemplating these as well. Been getting a kind of smearing effect across the windshield lately.
