It's marginal gains all the way here but genuinely if you're an omnivore the E-Bike might work out more enviromentally conscious

wrong, the ebike will not give me glorious quads like a real bike would
you can put olympic sprinter level power down on an e-bike to get massive ass. It kind of begs the question as to why you'd get an e-bike in the first place but you could
I'm very strong on a bike but I'm considering converting one of my old bikes to an e-bike so that I can ditch my car on trips where I can't just go ham all the time. Like any time I can't arrive somewhere dripping in sweat or wearing mostly spandex.
Don't get this but go off, I support all types of bicycles
one would think, but every obnoxious ebiker i see zipping past me without a bell assuredly is nowhere near this, rarely seen pedaling
just use the power assist at the lowest level and only sometimes. you'll still get a great workout you'll just end up going x5 the distance.
i only used it for extreme hill climbing or when my legs started blowing out. did almost 70 miles in an afternoon
