Switching to an electric bike means getting more exercise, period. Here’s why:

If you can pedal it but it has a throttle those are called mopeds. We have had a term for that for a long time, we should be realistic and use it. The biggest reason people think they hate e-bikes is because of the e-moped market it may have pedals they may have put a tourney or any derailleur on it but if it is a throttled vehicle it would be a moped.

Yes exercise is good but a throttle is not exercise except maybe to the wrist or thumb.
