Are You Losing Weight?
I've read many accounts of new e-bike riders losing weight, often a significant amount of weight. I don't read many accounts of people riding regular bikes who are losing weight. I'm certainly not saying it doesn't happen but there are so many accounts of the former, it seems like a positive trend rather than just isolated phenomena.
My theory is that ebikes allow for riding at a lower level of intensity which promotes weight loss compared to the intermediate level of intensity for bike riding in general. I wonder also, if riding a regular bike at a low level of intensity might be better for weight loss than riding at an intermediate level of intensity. Obviously, riding at a very high level of intensity for a prolonged period is not really possible, and probably not desirable for a variety of reasons.
