What I've seen for heartrate profiles and whatnot (sorry, can't find a link easily), ebike riding gives you a more steady heart-rate that, on average, is quite similar to 'analog' cycling.
Intuitively, this makes sense; most people don't mind spinning the pedals with some moderate effort. What is discouraging is frequent start/stops and riding up hills or into headwinds. But, given the choice between pedaling and not, most people have no issue putting some work in.
- acdha 7y agoOne thing we have heard a lot is that it boosts confidence if there’s a stretch where you have to share the road and prefer to be going 20 in a 25 zone rather than 10-15. I think there’s a risk about riding too fast for your experience level but slow bikes inspire a LOT of bad driving in my experience.
