I have a feeling that shotgun under the hood is not legal. Also kind of useless unless your target is right in front of it.

A semi-auto shortie 12 or 20 ga would be my preferred weapon if I were making my way out of Dodge riding a bicycle on the rails like those shown here. Goes without saying a pistol would be present, but the shotty would be perfect for firing while you are moving.
If someone along the way were to try and engage you while moving at 20 mph, they would have to flank you or approach from your 12. It would be easy to dispatch them with a short barreled, it's not a shotgun weapon. Extremely effective at 20 yards or less.
Riding rails on an e-bike would make it easy for someone to pick you off with a long gun at a distance. But that would be the case anywhere there was no useful cover - such as walking, riding, rolling down the road in a vehicle, etc. If I found myself in the precarious position of needing to evade capture or getting killed, I would be on the move at night, resting and hiding during daylight hours.

40+ MPH on a bicycle is pretty awesome. I like the short frame and those fat tires.
Looks fairly easy to replicate "for instructional purposes only!"
I see a door lock actuator and receiver attached to an aluminum plate via the stock bolt. Semi-auto also because stopping to open the hood and rack the slide might give away your "secret"... I'm more wondering about the lack of climate control in that vehicle...
Well? Find out anything interesting?

No decision. I have looked at a lot of them. I like the Ristretto.
Not enough details, but interesting idea if you don't have the need for speed and long range.

Viagra for bikes?
It will offer a solution for locations that have started to restrict e-bike motor output and top speed without requiring lights, insurance and a license plate. I imagine that Gen 2 will offer increased power and range as that's what folks are looking for.
