> But if you ride a pedal-assist e-bike, which is pretty much the only type of e-bike that is legal across Europe, then you can take comfort in knowing that you’re likely getting just as much exercise than if you were on a pedal bike Pretty sure that isn't implied by the study. Even if e-bikers get more exercise than cyclists, that doesn't mean switching to an e-bike causes you to get more exercise, the study didn't show causation. I ride recreationally, for a fixed amount of time. If I switched to an e-bike, I would just work less hard during that time, and get less exercise.
