Exactly. If you have some physical disability that requires the use of an e-bike then by all means use one. But if you are physically capable of pedaling a bicycle then by all means pedal with no assist. Even if it means you need to do shorter days.

I would have no desire to use an e-bike for touring. Part of the satisfaction of putting a hard day in the saddle is knowing I did it under my own power.
