ebike might just be what he needs. You can get a good workout with one, the motor is just there to help you when you need it. My wife did a 33 mile ride with 3,400’ of climbing for her first ride this year. She was beat after the ride. Others in the club could not believe hoe hard she worked with the ebike. Bottom line is you get a workout with an ebike.
