Because they are riding more. A
lot more. Compared to not really riding at all (or riding much less) before getting an e-bike (the so-called "traditional bike riders").

It is saying:
- that e-bikes encourage people who weren’t really riding to ride more.
- People who ride regular bikes are more fit.
This seems what one would expect.
The OP seems to be claiming these articles are saying e-bike riders riding the same amount as he is are getting more exercise. Them saying this or it being true doesn’t seem likely.
Your last link contradicts the OP's apparent claim.
