If someone on an e-bike is motivated to ride longer (time) and go further because they're *gasp* having more fun, then they
are getting more exercise and fitness out of it.
I've read many similar accounts, especially for people on bents and trikes, that this is exactly what they're doing. I say, more power to them. But I'm not a competitive cyclist, I hate riding in any groups, and I only ride for commuting, exercise, and fun....by myself.
