The power is great but there's a price to pay with the added weight, noise, some rattle a lot, and then the brake / tyre / drivetrain/ suspension wear is real.

Thankfully it's a problem for the future... :)

I do agree with you on the drivetrain wear. My SL is a lot easier on chains and cassettes than a full powered bike.

Totally agree about the noise from some of them!

The drivetrain/brake increased wear I haven't experienced. I put that down to being quite mechanically sympathetic and I don't care for really cranking uphills. Tyres definitely wear quicker but who doesn't love new tyre day!
