To contra the author, my partner who had ridden a bike once in the 10 prior years is now making 2-3 5 mile trips a week on an ebike. To align with the author, the assist levels allow safer travel on streets, you no longer slow below 10mph on a hill. I was already beating cars off the line on a bike, now I can start and even switch lanes before cars are barely moving. And it is definitely exercise, and you can choose levels of assist if you want to make it easier. A stationary bike also makes exercise easier, I hope the author writes down those next /s.
