Sorry, I should have also quoted this, which is what precipitated my response....
"If you refuse to go ride because you can't keep up with a spouse or friend, that's on you. I'm sure you could find a more suitable group or ride your own route alone."
If you have an eBike then you can keep up with a spouse or your friend and don't have go alone or with a suitable group. "That's on you" and the suggestion that you should chose riding on your own sounds judgemental. Hence, my response. Only you know exactly how judgemental that response was intended to be.
How much exercise a person gets is a matter of physics. How eBikes affect the overall population WRT exercise vs a regular bike is a matter of polling and statistics. I get more exercise because I have an ebike and like riding it. So for this sample of one the answer is yes I get more exercise because of ebikes.
