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

Every e-bike I've seen has an adjustable assist level, including no assist. Actually the one time rode an e-bike I wanted to get a workout in, so I put good effort in on the minimum assist level. I got a great workout in and ended up with a really long range for the battery size.
Variable assist is so good, I can get a decent workout but I can also cheese out on a shitty hill
as a child i used to dream of such a thing. i loved riding my bike but grew up in hill country. i even tried to fix an old moped until i realized how shit and heavy they were
if someone sent an ebike back in time to little me i'd have rock hard legs and ass today
It's not too late!
