Why there are perfectly capable and physically fit 20, 30 and 40 somethings on e-bike leaves me scratching my head.
Just my opinion though.
Perhaps because they want to go farther and/or faster for the same effort, or go the same pace with less effort and sweating to arrive at their destination without needing to shower or change clothes.
I don't own an e-bike but can definitely see the appeal and the enjoyment people get riding them. Sure they could ride a 100% human powered bike, but all of us on bikes could also be walking or running and not using the mechanical advantages provided by a bike which allow us to go farther and faster with less effort than using only our own two legs.
