This is how I felt. Losing out on some exercise took out one of the multiple reasons I liked bike commuting. But I have gotten older and electric bikes are becoming more and more tempting. My brother a few years ago had found a good deal and on hindsite wish I had jumped on it.
IDK about you, but my ebike weighs 60lbs. Turn the motor off, and I get way more of a workout than my 38lb full sus mountain bike.
Though I use an ebike as a car replacement, I find biking everywhere has gotten me into significantly better shape, even though it is electric. It can also tow a lot more gear up hills than my standard bike!
It was more getting exercise while getting to where you were going in a way that is pleasant. That was the trifecta. I would rather lengthen the commute than make the bike less efficient which I did when I had a 3 mile commute. I took a two mile two way detour to a more pleasant route turning it into a decent seven miles which is just about perfect exercise wise especially versus time. Time is a big issue which is why as I get older the electric becomes more tempting because I can't get as far as fast now.
